Re: [Hornlist] RE: horns on airlines
I've taken several flights where my horn would definitely fit in the overhead compartments, yet I wasn't allowed to bring my horn on board. In one flight my case was thrown enough to crack it in 3 places, and these were BIG cracks. I had to buy a new case when I got home. It's sad considering I had HUGE red stickers that said "fragile" all over it.

[Hornlist] Tubbiness
Was it Mr. Reiner who didn't like the large bell sound and referred it as tubbiness? So, this is a derogatory term of a sound characteristic due to the large throat design. This issue could be put on a more objective basis. Sing any pitch, first with an "ee" sound, then drop your tongue to produce the same pitch with an "ah" sound. You just went from a "small throat" to a "large throat" sound. How can the same pitch sound so different? The difference can be due to both the shape of the wave patterns of the funadamental tone and overtones as well as a change in the volume of each overtone. The "ee" sound is more focused, more responsive, and the "ah" sound is more resonant, less responsive. Certainly the "ee" sound will cut through the competition of other instruments, but the "ah" sound can provide a rounder, fuller, more powerful, if less focused, presence. I think the large throated belled Holtons have a very characteristic sound that can identify them as Holtons. We can appreciate the difference in the charateristic sound resulting from the bell throat size. You can often listen to a horn recording and think the player is using a small, medium, or large throated belled horn. We can enjoy the sound of each size. Hornists with large belled horns can strive for clarity and responsiveness to overcome the undesirable characteristics of their horn design. __ Do you Yahoo!?

RE: [Hornlist] Re: Top 4 Orchestras in the world
I have left the entire post attached to this response because it is such an astute statement to the typical "fan "question. You, sir, have obviously not wasted the privileged position you have been in. As a horn player, I am also fascinated that you choose to define orchestras by the conductor and the principal horn. As to Cleveland and Bloom, I still have that sound in my head while I am playing my horn. I have always admired the "earthiness" and aggressiveness of that orchestra. It is interesting how well matched the horn and string sound are. Richard Smith R.G.

Re: [Hornlist] Re: Top 4 Orchestras in the world
To clear up some confusion, I wasn't ranking my list in any way, I was just listing a few of my favorite orchestras and happened to put numbers by them.With the title of this topic, I understand why you'd think I was ranking them, I should have worded the title, "What are your 5 favorite orchestras and why." I know that people's opinions won't be an exact science and no answer will be correct for the "true top orchestras," but I wasn't asking for which orchestras were REALLY the BEST in the world, I was just asking for OPINIONS.

Re: [Hornlist] Horns on airlines
I've experienced similar situations in which every time I've flown with a horn it's been different. The most recent time I flew was the easiest. I had a plan in mind before I got on after my trip to my location was not horn condusive. I boarded the small propeller plane last in case I would need to place my horn in a locker. I explained to the flight attendant that I was previously unaware that I would be flying on a smaller plane, and that my horn case, while it fits larger planes, is unlikely to fit on the smaller planes. I said if there were any empty seats, I could belted it down in on, or store it on the floor beneath. I then said that I am unable to check it under the plane because of it's fragile and expensive nature and I asked if there was a uniform locker that I could place it in until the flight was over. Maybe she was having a good day or was just a nice person in general, but she had no problem with me putting my horn in the locker and all was good.

The actual ruling allows you to carry on an instrument, and it will not

FAA
in association with the AFM applies only to instruments that already meet the
carry on guidelines. You can't carry on a tuba or a string bass and expect
them to stow it up front next to the peanuts and behind the coffee maker.
Fixed bell horn cases will never meet these guidelines, nor will many cut bell
cases. But, even though it doesn't meet the guidelines, it's not off by much
in most situations.
Getting a horn case on board, no matter what the design, can sometimes be a
breeze, and sometimes be a pain. Be persistent and insistent, but polite,
and the crew will almost always accomodate your request to carry on and stow
your horn. Let them know what it is and how valuable it is (and don't be
afraid to exaggerate its value - they don't know). Don't forget that these
crew
sometimes deal with real jerks who insist that they carry on half the gift
shop from Disney World in the fifteen steamer trunks they just bought at
Walmart
- just so they won't have to wait at the baggage claim area. A little bit
of consideration toward the crew can go a long way. ("I know it's a little

[Hornlist] Horns on airlines
Season's Bleatings to you all. I thought you might find this information useful since the ugly topic of traveling by air with horns has lifted off once again. I have had wonderful, and other times merciless, treatment from the airlines with my instrument. There seems to be no rhyme or reason why the individual airlines choose to allow a horn onboard one day and not the next. There are, of course, some obvious reasons, including how full the flight is, the size of the cabin and its storage space, and how rude the customer has been to the gate attendants. But there is still no consistency within an airline, let alone the same daily flight. In the past, when I used a hard case, I could often simply request to pre-board with my horn and find a space, and that worked really well (the closets up front are great). Other times I've been told to board with everyone else, and still other times they've insisted that the hard-case horn be packed down below with the snarling dogs. Since I bought my Thompson Edition case, I've rarely had trouble getting it cabinside. Travelling to Spain with my horn studio this summer demonstrated these difficulties. Our travel agent had made arrangements early on with Delta to take good care of the 14 horns going with us, by handling them as fragile if they could not go above board. Some hard cases got on, some were required to go below. While sitting on the tarmac waiting, we watched in abject horror as cargo workers hurled the horns onto the belt. this AFTER I had spoken with the check-in people about the necessity of handling them as fragile. I will probably not fly Delta again, at least not on my own tab. This information is taken from the website of the American Federation of Musicians (www.afm.org): ***Musical Instruments As Carry-On Luggage Since 9-11 and the resulting heightened airport security, musicians have had difficulties carrying their instruments to out of town gigs. To remedy this, AFM worked with Congress to insure that the 2001 Airport Security Act contained language encouraging security personnel to accommodate musicians and their instruments. When it was found that, in spite of this language, musicians were still having problems at the airports, the AFM persuaded the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to issue a directive to its personnel requiring them to accommodate musicians. The resulting TSA letter has practically eliminated problems with government screeners, but musicians are still having difficulties with the airlines, who are not covered by the TSA directive.

[Hornlist] Re: Storage
Apparently I'm not the only one for whom horn storage is a recent household topic. I have 2 horns, 2 hard cases, and 2 gig bags, plus the usual pile of music, mutes, mouthpieces, tools, toothbrushes, etc. My wife went on a shopping expedition to Ikea intent on finding something to hold all of it and what she brought back is perfect - a wardrobe. For those not familiar with the term, it's a box around 5 feet (1.5 m) tall, with doors on the front, intended for storing clothes. Inside is a bar across the top for hanging clothes, and a couple of shelves at the bottom. I didn't install the bar, but instead screwed two rubber-coated J-hooks (the same kind that hang my 8 bicycles) into the top. Two horns fit easily, and I think four would fit if you were careful. The 8D hard case and the fixed-bell gig bag fit on the bottom shelf. The cut-bell hard case and gig bag fit on the upper shelf, along with the rest of the stuff. Another shelf would be a big help - should be a simple matter of a piece of pine and some brackets. It's very nice to be able to empty the horn, hang it on the hook, and close the doors.

RE: [Hornlist] Horn case on ailines
A couple years ago, the musician's union (in the U.S.) negotiated an arrangement with the Dept. of Transportation to allow instruments to be brought on board. There were a couple of letters available thru the union, one from the Transportation Dept., the other from the union that both confirmed this arrangement, so that these can be copied and produced at the airport to remind airline and security personnel of this. You might be able to find these on the AFM website and print them off. Failing that, you might want to call ahead and explain your situation and ask them if they are aware of the agreement between the Trans Dept and the union...this might speed up the process when you arrive at airport.
