I'm an amateur player and I just wanted to thank Matthew for the review!! Due
to my health I cannot travel on airplanes anymore (the joys of being a senior)
but I always enjoyed going to IHS festivals. Any other great highlights of
concerts? I saw the whole Cleveland Orchestra horn section was there, and I
would have loved to hear Lowell Greer on natural horn!
Matthew, what did you like about Cantestu (spelling?) horns? I play an old
Kruspe for the past 40 years and have been looking for a new horn, but nothing
out there now seems to work for me. I've been thinking about getting it
rebuilt, since I can't seem to let go of it. Would a Cantestu leadpipe work on
a Kruspe? Mine is yellow brass with a very large bell. Carl Geyer dated it as
WWI vintage in the 60's. I would consider a Lawson lead pipe, but I am
concerned as to what you mean by 'attitude?'
Were there any good new mouthpieces? I'm always looking for one that will top
my Dell'Osa-John Barrows copy that I got in 1963.
What's the "Virtual Conductor" booth? Were these films of greats like
Toscanini or just nobodies? I go to a lot of concerts and have tapes of many
great concerts that I collected through the years. I especially like my
Bernstein/Vienna Philharmonic Mahler performances.
Happy Horning! --> \@()
