I think it is better that the player improves his playings instead of fumbling around on allready good instruments, as bad instruments cannot gain anythiong by cryo- or whatevergenics.
In most cases, it is not the instrument be blamed or the makers, it is the player. It might be further interesting, that very good first horn players seem not to have such problems or hypocritique, while section players tend to esotheric & other strange actions regarding their instrument & never look at themselves to find a defect in their playing as "they would be all perfect allways were there not THESE problems with the equipment". ============================================================ ================================================ ============================================================ ================================================ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Gross Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 12:50 PM To: 'The Horn List' Subject: RE: [Hornlist] cryo a horn That raises an interesting question, if it is the placebo affect, and it works for player X, is it bad? If player X has his horn go through the treatment and can find some improvement whether or not the treatment did it, and if he's willing to part with the money I guess it might not be a bad deal. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of hans Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 2:03 AM To: 'The Horn List' Subject: RE: [Hornlist] cryo a horn Give some people blue same shaped pills but filled with some tasteless flour like stuff, they would believe that even "the blue pills" dont work for them anymore - or the "placebo effect" will work for them. ============================================================ =============================================== _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
