Could you possibly be referring to the metal-shattering sound when played at ff or fff ? :)
I have heard of a few people who overcame this by using a non-original bell, has anyone else had this experience?

It is not my maker of my double horns. Mr.Worischek, who makes horns in the traditional way, even the bell is cut, it is cut off the long, one piece bell (one piece from valve section to the very end. No, I spoke of another very prominent maker not far from my place. His craftsmanship is without any doubt, but his concept (of tone) is wrong totally. ============================================= -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pandolfi, Orlando Sent: Sunday, December 31, 2006 11:05 PM To: The Horn List Subject: RE: [Hornlist] garland Thank you Hans. I have seen the page, and I have seen the process live in other shops. I am with you in my preference for the bells made in the manner described, but there are certainly many who prefer spun bells. I do not own one of your horns or flares (although a Viennese horn is on my "wish list"..I wrote to you offlist a while ago) nor do I have any reason to doubt what you say. Nevertheless, I can only relate my own experience with my own old flares, and my conversations with various horn makers, which is what I think I did in my last post. I am curious about your last comment: "And, by the way, this maker's bells are thin anyway, so extremely sensitive against impact, and his horns make bad noise if played loudly, no matter if thee is a garland on the bell or not. We recognized his horns in all auditions to the disadvantage of the respective candidates." When you say "this maker", it sounds as though you are referring to the fellow on your web page, Mr. Robert Worischek. I doubt that is whom you meant to criticize, since it appears he makes your horns. Would you please clarify your comment to those of us who might have misunderstood about whom you are speaking? I wish you a joyous and healthy New Year. _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/tedesccj%40yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
