I just played a band arrangement of Pines of Rome last weekend with said
mute.  The really low part (to Ab) in the "Pines by the Catacombs" movement
projected well and was very stable and in tune.

Hi Carlberg,
Do you have any general guidelines for how to adjust a mute?  What happens
to the pitch/tone if I sand down the corks?  I'm afraid to shave the corks
too far.

Greetings -

While I have not tried Kowalchuk's mutes on the passage in Villanelle, I've
used four or five of them for normal orchestra playing and they have played
freely throught the range of the horn. The low range is especially easy to
project. As with other mutes, fine tuning of the sound and pitch can be done
by filing or sanding the corks as well as with the internal tuning
mechanism.

Regards,

Carlberg

[Hornlist] Kowalchuk Mutes

2004-05-21 Thread William Foss

Continuing my previous mute question, I have found the Kowalchuk mutes to be 
some of the best on the market and I am wondering if they hold up well in 
the low register. the specific passage I am concerned about is the muted 
part in 'Villanelle' by Paul Dukas, which goes to a low Eb while muted, so I 
would like to know the quality of the note as well as the quality of the low 
range in general.

Thanks

Re: [Hornlist] Yamaha 668N

2004-05-21 Thread Chris Tedesco
I've played one on a couple occassions and was very impressed.  While I think
the 668V, the hand-made custom model is really a superior instrument, the 668N
was still a good instrument.  It's a huge improvement over the first 668.

[Hornlist] influence of principal hornists

2004-05-21 Thread David Jewell
Hi listers - after a discussion with a hornist in my local orchestra [Binghamton, NY] 
I became curious as to the extent of principal hornists influencing or demanding that 
their sections play a particular horn.  His statement was that the principal horn of 
another regional symphony was the student of a prominent NYC principal player [not 
Phil Myers] and because of that teacher's influence or dictation, this student has 
made or caused her section to change to a certain well known horn.  Does this really 
still occur, and is it more of an ulterior sort of pressure or is it overt?  After all 
the discussions that have occurred on this list, I personally would find it hard to 
maintain my colleagiallity if my model of horn were the most important consideration 
in my [at present hypothetical] continued employment. I am aware that there are 
political and diplomatic issues in this type of situation, but my basic question is 
just is this type of situation really still as prevalent as so
 me seem
 to think?
