Re: [Hornlist] Coins (NHR)
I've always had a problem with the aesthetics of coins soldered onto to levers. I don't want my Paxman looking like a 'two bit' horn. Instead, I make touch pieces for both the paddles and thumb levers out of scraps of gun stock walnut (dark wood ages 'cleaner'). They can be attached with contact cement, so the metal stays pristine. For better grip, a grid pattern can be put on with a small saw. -Original Message- From: Walter E.

Re: [Hornlist] Coins (NHR)
Hey, USA dimes work great as touch-pieces on horn valve-levers. That makes me wonder -- do tuba players ever use USA quarters as touch-pieces on the valve-levers of rotary-valve tubas? If so, I know why. But if not, why not? -- Alan Cole, rank amateur McLean (Fairfax County), Virginia, USA. ~ And if you attach nickels to your valve levers, then horns have bison. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

And if you attach nickels to your valve levers, then horns have bison.

[Hornlist] Coins (NHR)
Not too long ago, I noticed that the US mint was reintroducing the buffalo nickel into circulation in honor of the 200th anniversary of the Louisiana purchase. I suppose that you could call that the BISON-tennial. (This just might be horn related- if someone attached the nickels to the valve levers) William Foss "The various viewpoints on Horn tone are held with such fierce devotion that one encounters otherwise in religious controversies." -Gunther Schuller ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
