RE: [Hornlist] Mouthpiece specialist
If the mouth piece is more or less corresponding with the instrument, THE PLAYER HAS TO ADAPT HIS LIPS (better said: has to get his lips used to the mouthpiece) TO THE MOUTHPIECE. Admitted, there are some better designed mouth pieces today than in the past. Better designed means here that some curves are better rounded or better edged, and it means, that the mouth pieces are better manufactured or produced with more precision (computer designed plus computer commanded machining). It is a fatal ERROR, to BUY everything adapted to the single individual AND that it will WORK without investing much ENERGY on the players side. Playing a brass instrument - depending on the standard of playing desired -- is not the same as walking on the street with a made-to-measure suit. Playing the horn is not a "buy & run" affair. If one doesn´t make his daily home work for many years, horn, teeth, mouth piece, altered lips - all will not produce a reasonable player. There is more to do. Listen & practise. And this remains a life long "affair", as long as you play the horn. = -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Benno Heinemann Sent: Saturday, May 01, 2004 11:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Hornlist] Mouthpiece specialist Hello, there is a chap not far from here, in Holland I think, who will in exchange for about 30 Euros measure your mouth Teeth and Lips and tell you what Mouthpiece you should use.

[Hornlist] Cabbaged records
David, I'm glad you posted your message below to the list. I wanted to ask others how many times they have been cabbaged. I suspect being cabbaged more than twice (ever) is getting into a pretty select group. Your thrice-cabbaged achievement in a single day may indeed set a record. Hopefully, we will hear from others. One manifestation of an experienced poster is the ability to evaluate the degree of one's "cabbage risk" in one's post, and to actually include some sardonic message to head Cabbage off with an "in your face" attitude-- this indeed is the ability of a more experienced poster. The inexperienced poster is defenselessly surprised by the crucifer. * >larry - I think I have you beat. Back in summer 2001 I posted a dental question to the list. Not only did I get some wonderfully encouraging and informative replies, I was also cabbaged thrice in one day. [all from cabbage, no imitations!]. I still have them as way cool momentos of that day. >paxmaha ___ Internet Access, Shared & Dedicated Web Hosting.
