Well, since the link was already provided by Greg Campbell, I won't include that here. However, I will say a few things about Felix and his horn. I just did a marathon horn weekend this past weekend where I drove from the Washington DC suburbs through Baltimore late at night and up to New York to try out several horns. On my way out this past Friday night, I stopped by Felix's place. In addition to inviting me and my friend in at a few minutes after 9 PM, he allowed us to try his horn and the used Rauch he had in stock. Additionally, he took the time to answer all of my questions regarding his engineering of the horn as well as the choices he made regarding each minute step.
I'll go as far as to say that his horn blew the Rauch out of the water. In fact, his horn blew many other horns that I've tried recently out of the water! I'm not sure who described the horn as a "light" Geyer and then someone else (unknown) referred to it as an ultra-light...Those folks were off - way off. The horn isn't as heavy as the early Rauchs, but it is by no means anywhere near as light as a Yamaha or a Schmid. It has a similar weight to any Berg or similar horn. In fact, it weighed about the same as my colleague's Eastlake 8D (maybe just a tad less). Ultimately, I did decide on a different horn, but the main deciding factor for me was, even though both horns (the one I bought and Felix's) were excellent horns and well worth the money, I'm in need of a horn now where he does have a short wait right now for his. I'm going to be posting some "horn blog" information on my MySpace page as soon as I have some free time to write it up. Cheers- Jeremy PS - Seriously, give this horn a try at the next workshop, you'll want to get on the waiting list! -----Original Message----- From: matthew scheffelman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 18, 2008 1:34 AM To: horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: [Hornlist] Screwed up Cantesanu spelling so much...
