[Hornlist] Larsson Concertino
Eric, The first thing I would do (did) was to do a google search on Eric Larsson Horn Concertino. If you have not done so, I would suggest that you do the same. This was an interesting highlight I found. http://www.musicweb.uk.net/classrev/2002/Apr02/Larsson.htm Don ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
RE: [Hornlist] Pizka Classic Double Horn
Paul, Thanks for your review. I, too, am a Pizka fan, based on my use of his mouthpiece. Although I won't have the money available for some time, the Pizka Classic is on my want list. Until then, I'll just have to be happy with my 50 y.o. Alex 205.

[Hornlist] IHS Advisory Council
I just received the latest issue of the Horn Call, which includes the ballot to elect members of the IHS Advisory Council. Tim Allport and I nominated Michelle Stebleton to serve on the council. We believe that Michelle will be an energetic and forward thinking member of the council. I met Michelle when she attended her first IHS workshop as a young teen-ager. She has been an enthusiastic participant/performer/exhibitor ever since. She frequently leads warm-up sessions at workshops, at 8:00am! Most recently, she hosted the Southeast Horn Workshop at Florida State University. To give you an idea of her dedication to young people, she scheduled several sessions geared to middle and high school students. Michelle's professional qualifications are well documented in the Horn Call.

[Hornlist] Yamaha 668N
Hey guys, Are you talking about the normal Yamaha 668 or 668Ns, or the newer 668NII? I own one of the newer 668NDII's and am VERY pleased with the playing qualities. It was awkward to play at first because I was playing on a school Holton H180, and the valves on the Yamaha were LIGHTNING fast compared to the Holton valves I grew accustomed to (slow, like in mud). It has an ease of playing and even through the range. A horn normally doesn't have s set tone, but the horn can affect the tone somewhat.I think it's more mental approach and equipment affects it somewhat but mostly mental. My teacher plays some Geyer wrap Hoyer, and when she would demonstrate on my school owned holton H179 or H177, she stilled sounded like herself (nice beautiful tone). I I don't know about everyone else, but Im happy with the 668NDII.it's so hard not to get scratches on it, I don't know if they have a thinner lacquer or something than holton does, because I don't recall putting scratches in the holtons i hadI treat the Yamaha as if it were more fragile than an egg, and scratches are getting everywhere, and the first ones were from the repair shop (I tried to have the "factory dust" cleaned out)!

I would like a Pizka horn for myself one day, especially for small ensemble playing. I love the sound of these horns. In the meantime, I'm really enjoying my Merker Millennium. If I may ask, are you pursuing a solo career, or are you going to be playing in a large ensemble? Please let us know how the Pizka blends in with other horns. -Carl ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
[Hornlist] Pizka Classic Double Horn
Hello fellow Horners! My name is Paul Rincon, I am a soon to be Senior at Lake Brantley High school. I've been studying horn with my teacher Mr. William C. Robinson for about 5 1/2 years now (some of you on the list might know/studied with him). Anyways! As an early graduation Present, my parents decided to buy me a new french horn, as my old one (a 22 year old yamaha with a Lawson leadpipe) was in a not very good condition, and it was certainly not my style of horn. So of course, I began to look at all of the usual suspects, Elkhart Conn's, The new Yamahas, Alex, Schmid, Paxman, Finke, etcetera. However, one caught my eye, it was the Pizka Classic double horn ( http://pizka.de/PizClasHr.htm ) I then proceeded to contact professor Pizka himself, and over a period of 3-4 weeks and bouncing emails back and forth, It was decided that I would receive a Pizka Classic double with the Gold brass leadpipe. I received it 4 days ago...let me just say; that it is the most incredible instrument I have ever played (Including my teacher's 1942 Geyer) The response is extremely fast, the tone shiny, and the most beautiful decorations I have ever seen on an instrument. It is truly a work of art, impossible to overblow (due to the Kranz) and has a very carrying Pianissimo. In few words, I love it. I encourage you to keep his horns in mind if you are of the sort who likes the "Viennese" sound, the smaller instruments, but the finesse and agility of one. I have found Prof. Pizka a pleasure to deal with, and he has answered all of my questions and concerns promptly. I highly recommend the Pizka Classic.
