[Hornlist] Is Stuart no longer on this list?
Hello, fellow listers. I sent an email to Stuart DeHaro's 'known' address, about three weeks ago. He has not repsonded, so I am wondering if he is still on this list, or even if he is still in business. I hasten to add that I do not want to alarm anyone!! I just wanted to have a response to my question, and he has not been heard from, since my message to him. Thanks for any info on his current status.

Re: [Hornlist] New to french horn....info needed
The Bach 7, or 7BW, Holton Farkas MDC, and Schilke 31B are mouthpieces that that should be available to try at just about any decent music store. Call ahead. If they don't have all three, they should, and will probably get them in stock for you to try. Of the three, I favor the 31B because it is a little larger than the others, and players who use it always seem to develop beautiful tone. My wife came back to playing after 35 years using a 31B, and her playing now has an authority to it she was never able to achieve. It's tempting to go to a smaller mouthpiece to facilitate high playing, but that is a mistake if you plan to play seriously. In order to get a full tone and develop a solid low register you must develop emboucher strength for the high register, and not rely on pressure. Also, make sure you go to a competent horn teacher to learn the correct horn emboucher. It's basically upside down compared to the trumpet. You blow much lower into the cup on the French horn. Good luck and welcome to the absolute best section to be in. ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
[Hornlist] Oil addicts
Hans P was giving us good advice Are we so spoiled by all these super idiotic commercials their ballyhoo ??? Like: put the nail between thumb forefinger of the left hand, haha, point the nails point against the wall,- got it ? -, get the hammer into your right hand, - you too madam-, holding it at the grip firmly, wow, hammer against the head of the nail until the nail sticks in the wall, splash , applaus. Are we that like ? Really ? ** Hans, Hans, be kind. After all, when you hold a nail between your thumb and forefinger, there are three nails, all in close contact. An inexperienced amateur hammerer has only one chance in three of hitting the correct one on the first try.

[Hornlist] Ralph Pyle - instruction
Ralph Pyle was my instructor back in '70-72 while I was at Occidental College and he was playing 4th horn with the LA Phil. He proceded to tell me I'd never make it into the 'big time' of horn playing because the shape of my jaw was not 'right'. Well, he was right, I didn't make it into the 'big show' so to speak, nor did I really have a desire to but I've had instead probably more 'fun' continuing to play the horn as I do. Where is ol' Ralphy now a days? Jim karl Kohn has retired, but he still can be reached through the Music Department at Pomona College. I hear he is enjoying retirement, though he suffers from a mild case of emeritis. I heard Ralph Pyle play the premier of this piece back in the 60's.

RE: [Hornlist] Low to improve high register
After extended breaks of anywhere up to a year, I warm up carefully on the Rossari etudes transposed to horn in A, then do Book VI of the Maxime-Alphonse a couple of times through, with all the repeats. Then I'm ready for a nice warm bath. Just kidding. I might get a good soaking now though. Bob Dickow Lionel Hampton School of Music University of Idaho -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Low to improve high register Several times I've taken extended breaks from the horn and had to play back into shape. I find the Gallay etudes for second horn are best for getting back my embouchure in good form. The etudes require playing low parts in context, and that brings back the proper embouchure. When I feel my embouchure is playing down into the low register properly, I start adding the Gallay Etudes Brilliant. snip ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
[Hornlist] Is Jerry there??
Hello, list. I have sent Jerry a message, two different times, in the last week, at his address as furnished on the list. He has not responded, and so I want him to know that I am most interested in his response on the list, concerning my interest in a mouthpiece, should he care to sell one. Jerry, please contact me, privately, to make a deal we can both benefit from!!

[Hornlist] Richard Burdick New Disk
Have you heard Richard Burdick's Portal album? I have been away from academics too long to label this music as being electronic or modern but it is certainly not a night at the opera. He made it using a 5 track method with his very austere horn and horn chord solos being combined with tracks of untuned drones, a mathematical induced track and a improvised track. It is much easier to listen to than to describe. I have some modern disks that are too mathematically predictable for me to enjoy, all of the music on this disk is based on a human playing a horn so I don't really know where it is going before I hear it. I guess contemplative or introspective would be a good way of describing this disk. interesting.

Re: [Hornlist] Ralph Pyle - instruction
Last I heard he and his wife retired up to one of the islands just off the coast of Washington State. This was some time ago, however. btw, he was 2nd horn.

[Hornlist] Mouthpiece Buzzing
Speaking of Richard Burdick, he recently advocated no mouthpiece buzzing in a mail to this group, and I think he's said this before so must feel pretty decisive about this. Why is this, Richard? Alot of teachers say the more buzzing the better, so I am confused. Hope you are well up there in Canada Thanks, Fred Leonard Peggy Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Have you heard Richard Burdick's Portal album?

[Hornlist] re: New to french horn....info needed
Samantha, For me, a Bach 5C trumpet mouthpiece fits quite well, and I use a Holton DC horn mouthpiece. I think that many local retail music instrument dealers carry the Holton line of mouthpieces, and many players are very satisfied with them. A big part of switching from trumpet to horn is learning what a good 'horn tone' should be - ask your director to suggest some CD's for you to hear. The main sound quality that many of us enjoy is the tone of the horn - the sound can 'stir your emotions' with its beauty. In many marches, the horns play lots of after-beats, and that is not too much fun, but those after-beats are very important because they keep the tempo moving. Also in many marches the horns have an important role in making key and chord changes. In band 'concert pieces' the horns are important as a blend between the other brass and the woodwinds. Also, because of the sound of the horn, it is often used to introduce a phrase that will be repeated by the other sections.
