My Alex 309 triple was "frozen" several years ago by its previous owner. I never had a chance to play it before the treatment, but it plays fantastically well now. Am using a Pizka mouthpiece which gives me a broad, dark, and very large sound. The notes slot well, yet slurs are easy. The high F side of the horn, even with this large diameter mouthpiece, is very easy to play. Who would have thought? Wilbert in SC

Here is an article I found, "For the Musical Alchemist, a New Tack: Cryogenics" by Terry H. Schwadron, originally on The New York Times, November 2, 1999 ( http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F00912F93F5F0C718CDDA80994D1494D81 ) , reprinted at http://www.trumpetguild.org/pdf/2001journal/0101schw.pdf (And I found it, for a horn, costs about US$ 100. -- much cheeper than a hand-made horn.) Any comment? ^_^ Neuro _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/wkkimple%40prodigy.net _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
