Do you play primarily on the F horn, or the Bb horn? Players who use and teach using the F horn as the primary instrument tend to favor mouthpieces with deeper, vee shaped cups. The optimum cup depth for a mouthpiece can be described as a ratio of the overall horn length. That presents a dilemma for double horn players who play two instruments of different lengths. In general, the Bb horn requires a shallower cup than the F horn to produce about the same timbre. The reason this tends not to be common knowledge is because if you switch suddenly to a more bowl shaped cup, your new sound will be disturbingly bright until you learn to fill the horn properly with the shallower mouthpiece. Interestingly, this immediate difference probably defines exactly the problem you are having with your high register using a vee cup. The adjustment that you make over a week or two to get your old sound back is the adjustment you need to clean up your high register. To keep the 'pop' tone of the mouthpieces consistent, a shallower cup usually requires a slight increase in cup diameter. Interestingly, the combination of shallow cup and large diameter facilitates low playing because it doesn't waste energy trying to produce bass. Expert bass trombonists and outdoor sousaphone players know this trick. It takes the mud out of the tone and puts it back in a part of the spectrum that projects cleanly. If a 7BW, not a very deep cup, worked, try a Bach 3 or Schilke 31B for a few weeks. Scott Laskey is making a complete line of horn mouthpieces based on shallower cups. He converted me to a 31Bh while he was still at Schilke. It extended my range both up and down, and I much prefer my recorded sound. If you are going to continue using a deep, vee cup, I would suggest you get your hands on a good quality F horn, and practice playing it full range. A Reynolds Contempora or Conn 4D can be gotten on eBay for about $100. If you can develop real facility on the F horn, your high range problems should greatly diminish on the double. ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
RE: NHR [Hornlist] cookies
Not speaking specifically to the virus problems as related to emails, I can attest that there are alot of viruses making the rounds. Our computer (Windows XP) would not boot about 10 days ago, and after my attempts to fix failed, and because we wanted to save as many of my files as possible (had not done regular backups, as we should have), we called in the calvary (a professional). He told us that we had 10 viruses on the computer, and that the cretins that create viruses have much more sophisticated ways to get this crap onto your machine than in the past. Used to be if you avoided opening email attachments from people unknown, you could avoid infection. But these days, according to this pro, you have to have software to detect these viruses. He recommended PC-cillin and Spy Blocker (both very cheap), and installed these on our machine. Also, he says that it is imperative to download and apply all updates from both Microsoft and from PC-cillin to stay ahead of (or at least even with) the viruses. He also likes Spy-Bot (free download) as a means to monitor and delete spyware. Another interesting thing he told us was that pop-up stoppers incorporate spyware within them, so he doesn't use them...rather he changes the system defaults to block network messaging, and this does indeed seem to block more pop-ups than were blocked when we were running Pop-Up Stopper.

The viruses read infected computer's email address books and then sends out bogus emails using the address books in the 'from' area of the email. It also appears to build a list of 'stolen' email addresses for spam purposes. This practice is referred to as 'spoofing'. So these bad emails are coming from either an infected computer, or a database of emails which was stolen from an infected computer. Unfortunately, there's absolutely nothing you can do about it at the moment. Several companies and organizations are working on new email solutions which may someday fix the problem, but I think it's going to be a while.

I regularly delete "cookies" from my computer. I don't know if it really helps, but it makes me feel like I'm doing something positive. Does any computer person out there know if regularly deleting cookies has any benefit?

Dear Hans and all, I think there is a "cookie" or something, that allows others to access our address book. I too, have had my name used in unpleasant e-mail.
