Now, suppose that two valves acted up. You would be up the proverbial
creek without a paddle.
Wouldn't it it solve the problem if you knew how to play the natural
horn?

Tim, I would venture to say that something similar has happened ALL of
us. You play a lot in front of people and something is bound to go
horribly wrong at some point in your career.
Of course this is a great reason to know all your alternate fingerings
"dead cold".

Subject: [Hornlist] Falling Apart
Hello, All.
I have an interesting (and somewhat embarrassing) story to tell. I am
a senior at the local high school, and tonight was my final concert.
One of the songs we played was an adaptation of the Lord of the Rings
Symphony by Johan De Meij. At the beginning of the piece (the
"Gandalf" section) my horn decided it didn't like me. As I was playing
a solo, my third valve slide on the F horn slipped out and fell with a
clatter to the stage floor. I kept playing, though my mind was racing.
I couldn't get the slide again until the end of that section. I was
mortified. Has this sort of thing ever happened to one of you?
