Re: [Hornlist] Dodgy deals
The "dodgy" replies I've received do mention the word "horn" or "Paxman 44", but in a very curious wayusually within parentheses. Some sort of word-replacement word processing going on, I think. Never hear from them again when I mention the word "cash".

[Hornlist] Mouthpieces
My son and I have been playing on PHC mouthpieces (http://horncups.com) for about 2 years now. The are all two piece with an enormous variety of cups and rims - 540 they claim. I've been playing on a 25 cup and a W rim, my son on a 23/W. The cup is wider and allows more lip to vibrate and the wide rim gives me added support. We both use the acetal rim and is it ever soft - much more so than gold or silver. I'm about to order another 25 cup bored out to a #1 - probably be able to drive my car through it. You can order them from Wichita Band Instrument company (half owners of Paxman) and get it a bit cheaper than you can ordering it yourself. Sean from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] subject: [Hornlist] Mouthpieces Hello, This may hit some of the same folks I tried earlier, but I seek mouthpiece advice. Currently using a Schilke 30 mostly, and a 31B when middle and low range stuff dominates. I like the free-blowing nature of the 31B, but not its high range; like the high range of the 30, but not its tighter blowing (to me) nature. ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

[Hornlist] RE: Dodgy deals
My first response is that I tell them that I take Western Union for payment. When the CASH is in my hand, I will send out an instrument. If they don't answer back, then you have their answer on their legitimacy. By giving them a payment option that is safe for you, you won't be chasing off legitimate buyers. On certified checks you often have to wait about 2 months for it to clear and be assured it isn't fraudulent. Fraudulent certified checks are forgeries or written on fictitious banks. I have also used an escrow service that has been researched and used by eBay. The transaction I made was safe using that method. However, make sure it is the exact escrow service at the exact url. There are a lot of copy cats out there and use the same or similar names. Also, if a buyer asks for money back from a check or that you use their shipper, be suspect unless you have used Western Union and have the cash in your hand. Some people also send out fake Western Union e-mails, so always get the cash in hand first, not just a notification.

Re: [Hornlist] Mouthpieces
One of the most important decisions that the player has to make when choosing a mouthpiece is what inner diameter(I.D.) fits your musculature. Lip size and shape are important considerations in determining this. The upper rim of the mouthpiece must be above the vibrating surface of the lip and NOT on this surface in order to achieve the greatest amount of efficiency and freedom for the lip to vibrate. If the rim is directly on top of the vibrating surface, then the player will have to blow harder in order to get the lips to vibrate. Once you find a comfortable inside diameter, you can have a rim made and try different cups or try mouthpieces with that I.D., to see what helps you achieve your artistic goals. One source of excellent information is the small book THE MOUTHPIECE written by John and Phyllis Stork. It used to be available from Stork. It may still be. The player who was switching between the Schilke 30 and 31B was actually switching inside diameter sizes and this can cause problems. By using one inside diameter and becoming familiar with it, you allow your embouchure to learn what to do within that rim's I.D. because it can rely on the sameness of the rim. The familiar becomes instinctual and reliable -- allowing you to concentrate more on musical production. When you switch between mouthpieces with different I.D.'s ,you take the risk of confusing your muscles and having to think about aspects of what you are doing that could have become instinctual -- then you may have to focus more on production than the music. Getting the help of a qualified mouthpiece maker can save you much time and much money. John Stork Tom Greer Scott Laskey Greg Black These are all competent mouthpiece makers and while each player may have their favorite, you certainly will get more help and guidance from one of them then from your local music store or mindless Internet purchases.

[Hornlist] Simon Locke writes concerning "Dodgy deals"
Simon, Do not do business with anyone who wants to purchase your horn via cheque and say that they will take care of shipping. Always go for money transfer to your account, or get them to pay via Paypal. Alternatively, utilise the services of an established intermediary you can both trust. NEVER ACCEPT CHEQUES! I too have (had, it's just been sold) a horn for sale. regards to all, Brian. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
