Re: [Hornlist] RE: Rhinitis
The generic version of Flonase -fluticasone- just recently became available, and it's much cheaper also. It seems to work just as well as Flonase.

RE: [Hornlist] Demise of the Concert Band?
Huh? Supporting PBS and NPR, even if you think it's a worthy cause, is not going to do squat for your local concert bands. Try supporting your local organizations directly before you go looking to the federal government as a solution to local problems. You might find you appreciate these organizations more as a result. Ideally, PBS and NPR would be of no consequence.

Sadly, WNPR here in central CT dropped almost all music (if you don't count A Prairie Home Companion) in favor of talk programming. -Original Message- From: Sent: Monday, June 26, 2006 11:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; The Horn List Subject: [Hornlist] Demise of the Concert Band?

RE: [Hornlist] Demise of the Concert Band?
This does beg the question, if Concert Bands will only survive if they rely on tax dollars should this be a priority of spending? If musicians enjoy getting together as a group and performing do they need a tax subsidy or should how about if they just funded themselves? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 26, 2006 10:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; The Horn List Subject: [Hornlist] Demise of the Concert Band?

Part of the reason I'm asking is because I've been assigned the first Mozart horn concerto by my teacher, and there are similar issues with the written pitch E (concert A) for me - I often find, in the key of concert D, I like this note better as 12 than as 0. -S- Its your choice what fingering to use. It makes sense to play that note on 12 just as much as it makes to play the A above it on Bb horn 12. They are the same partial on different harmonic series' on different horns. We get used to playing the e on open f horn as beginners, probably because it is easy. It is, however, a flat harmonic. That is why you should never tune to that note with that fingering in the orchestra. If you played the A above it on Bb horn open, you would hear the same effect- a flat note. The downside to this is that the 12 fingerings are sharp, as all multiple valve fingerings are sharp. If they sit on a flat harmonic or partial, the effect is sometimes cancelled or reduced, as in the Dd fingering 12 just above middle C. This is a matter for your experimentation and decision making and has to do with how you tune your horn as well. Most of us like to have a consistent "regular" pattern of fingerings and then use "alternate" fingerings to suit the situation. This way we don't freeze up in certain situations where we just need to react. We always use the "regular fingerings" and just make "exceptions" for very specific things. You don't want to be going down your fingering options every time you play a passage, especially when site reading. So make your choices and stick with them.

[Hornlist] for horn list serve
Dear Horn Players: My name is Beth Macauley and I am a faculty member in the Department of Communication Disorders at the University of Tulsa (TU). I started a research study on blocking in horn players with Skip Snead while I was at the University of Alabama and I presented on this topic at the International Horn Society conference in Tuscaloosa last June. I'm writing because I need as many horn players as possible, from around the globe, to complete an online survey about the behavior. We need additonal data before submitting the results to a journal. The study has been approved by the University of Tulsa Insitutional Review Board, is anonymous, and takes around 15-20 minutes to complete. Here is the link. Use the password "tulsa" http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=77001532209 Thank you very much!

[Hornlist] RE: Rhinitis
I have dealt with allergic rhinitis all my life - basically the same symptoms that have been described in previous posts. I have found a combination of drugs that works quite well: Flonase & Allegra. The Allegra controls about 70% of my allergic rections, while the Flonase, a nasal spray, allows me to breathe by shrinking my otherwise constantly inflamed nasal membranes. The ability to get air in through my nose is particularly useful in helping me to sleep at night. I still have to carry tissues everywhere I go for the occasional drainage & sneezing, but it's MUCH better than without the meds. All I have to do to prove the effectiveness of these drugs is to go without for a couple of days - yikes! I don't know how much these drugs cost, because, as a member of the military, Uncle Sam pick up the tab. I must say, though, that I would gladly pay quite a bit of money for relief from this annoying problem. I hope this helps -Cathryn Cummings ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
[Hornlist] switched from Kruspe to Geyer
Dear All, after over 30 years of playing Kruspe horns (Kalison M27 and Holton H104) I recently bought a Rauch; this is a wondeful horn and I'm now having my honeymoon with it, so I can't answer the general question about switching problems. It's so superior to my previous two instruments for sound quality, eveness of output, stability of intonation. There are, however, some different intonation tendencies I must still get completely used to. A further word about intonation stability: it means that when I have found the correct setting for a given note, I can keep the tuner's led quite still; I couldn't do this with the other horns, at least not for most notes.
