2007-02-02 Thread Sven Bring
I am interested in the buzz pipes sold by embouchures.com. However, before I decide to order and pay for pipe and overseas shipping (I live in Sweden), I would be grateful if someone could describe the design and explain how they work. So far, I have no idea which model to select, so a

Does anyone have any information on when the Rm Williams Publushing website will be back in business? Dec. 21, 2006, I ordered over $200 worth of horn music I was really looking forward to playing-mostly music of Paul Basler. And I have not recieved any kind of response-no email confirmation of

Hello Melvin, I've had the same problem with music I ordered (and paid for) in August. Repeated emails to their address got no response so I sent one to the owner, Michelle Stebleton, at her FSU address in November asking about it. She did respond to that that they had a fire and were running

The head phones are just used when synchronizing with another soundtrack or to synchronize with a certain rhythm pattern for (just before) rhythm changes. It is nonsense to use it in classical music recordings except for those, where a real ensemble does not exist all voices are recorded

I like to use headphones when I am layering, doubling/3x/4x myself , tutti horn never sounded better. I have done a few commercials which required this. Where are all the studio horn players in LA? I would like to hear their input on larger ensemble work.

Hello All- I write with extreme excitement as my brand new, yellow brass double Engelbert Schmid arrived this morning. (I bought a medium yellow brass and a large(still significantly smaller than the 8D) rose-brass bell flare, both hand-hammered with garland. What a beauty! Such an improvement

Oh, another quick question. I would very much like to get this instrument insured. College Campus' are notorious for theft. My mother's hand-made Lauben Oboe was stolen when she was a student and she had to quit playing. (so there is motivation in my family here) What options are there out

Check with both the college and the home owner's or apartment policy from your permanent domicile. One, the other, or both may cover this, or one, the other, or both may let you add specific coverage (a rider) to whatever coverage you currently have. Either way, be sure to take pictures of the

Dave, Start calling insurance agents and see what you can get. Your mileage will vary by company. I've had various homeowners insurance policies through the years, and some have covered my horn, while others required a separate addendum to the policy. You'll just have to shop around.
