Re: [Hornlist] Gig Bags
While the Cabbage may consider gig bags suitable only for carying junkers or, perhaps, cruciferous vegetables, he may be referring only to soft sided gig bags. The hard shell variety, such as the Thompson Edition, which I have and recommend, offers as much protection as a standard horn case. Try dropping a standard case on concrete. Then again, don't. Gig bags offer the added protection of being convenient so you can keep the horn with you where it can't be stolen. Care is always necessary. During the 5 years I had an 8D, I used a soft sided bag, including carrying onto airliners, and never suffered damage. Herb Foster Ryan D wrote: I am looking for a gig bag for my french horn and I was wondering if anyone had some info about good gig bags. I thought they would be easier to haul around the colllege campus rather than the huge cases that they come with. But I want a gig bag that will protect my horn more than anything else. * I'm not sure what you mean by a good gig bag. In my experience, only an empty gig bag can protect a horn from denting. Still, there's no denying that a gig bag is convenient. So if you MUST get a one, consider also buying a junk horn to put in it, one you don't care about (I used to have a silver-plated Schmidt- model York that fit this category very well). Just make sure to send your chauffeur ahead with your good horn (safe in a nice strong case), so that it will be well protected, and you won't have to play that junker in public. gotta go, Cabbage __ Do you Yahoo!?

[Hornlist] Edited Mozart
Eric J wrote The first sheet music for horn I ever owned was an edition of Mozart's 3rd horn Concerto published by Carl Fischer and arranged for horn and piano by Max Pottag. Talk about editing! Mr Pottag didn't just edit, he rewrote. It's full of altered passages, suggested cuts and 20th century articulations and dynamics. Although I can't imagine anyone wanting to perform from it today, I treasure this edition and would never part with it. It came from a different time and in it's own way is as Urtext as any Henle edition. ** Yes, yes, hold on to it, Eric! Your text is urtext! Soon audiences and hornists will tire of numbing concerts reviving the authentic performance practice of classical music using handhorns, etc. Then they will surely shift their attention to authentic performance practices during the first half of the twentieth century. When that happens, dozens of graduate students will clamor to inspect this treasured version of Mozart's Third Concerto, anxious to fill their dissertations with learned commentary on its slurs, altered notes, and trill-substitutes, while celebrated horn soloists will add greater luster to Pottag's name with their truly authentic performances of his remarkable edition.

[Hornlist] Vienna Sausage Links...
Can anyone help here. I'm doing research on an ongoing personal project to learn as much about Vienna horns (in all their varieties) as I can and, being homebound, I must do this from my computer. The link below looks promising, but it requires a username, password, and domain. http://iwk.mdw.ac.at/english/research/wrinst/vhorn.htm I realize that there are just some places in the world where I'm not welcome, but most of them have at least met me before rejection sets in. From the URL I can't tell what the site is even supposed to be (no .edu, or .gov script to suggest exclusivity). The placing of the vhorn.htm snippet at the end is, to me, like waving fresh meat at a shark then asking him to tuck his linen napkin under his chin and then log-in before digging into the Schnitzel. Do any of you have access to this? ...and if so, could you tell me what's there without compromising the trust placed in you? jrc (down in SC, outside looking in) ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

Re: [Hornlist] Vienna Sausage Links...
The link is to the' Institute Fur Wiener Klangstil' or IWK and yes you would find it very interesting if you are interested in the Vienna Horn. Try this link: http://www.bias.at/index_e.htm It is the website of an organization that has for it's purpose the preservation or promotion or the study of the Viennese sound style. The Vienna Horn is just one area of interest they explore on the web site. Click on research activities for the English version.

[Hornlist] Osmun- sales question...
Hey I'm in the market for a new Yamaha 667VS, lacquered or un-lacquered, and I was wondering if your store would be willing to beat another store's price to make the sale. At this link, _Yamaha YHR-667VS_ (http://store.prowinds.com/shop/product265.html) , Prowinds offers the 667vs at a price of $4,649. What is the price that you are selling them at your shop and if you are willing, what would be your asking price to beat Prowind's price? Thanks.

[Hornlist] Cutiss Blake online
Some of you may be aware of Curtiss Blake and his efforts to amass an all-encompassing collection of horn recordings. I had read about this collection many years ago in the Horn Call and found that it had found its way the library at the Madison campus of the University of Wisconsin. My attempts to search the catalog via telnet a few years back were not terribly fruitful, but I did some research tonight and see that 5926 items have been cataloged and can be searched via: http://madcat.library.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?SC=TitleSEQ=20041124215859PID=5630SA=Blake+collection Of course, you have to pay a visit to the listening facility at UWM to actually hear any of the recordings, but just being able to peruse this mind-boggling catalog ought to make many of us horn-junkies greatful to Blake and the librarians who created those thousands of catalog records. Now all of you who are doing such and such a piece on your junior recital that doesn't happen to be one of the top ten most popular ones can find out if there is a recording without troubling the good old hornlist. I can think of many more reasons that one would find this of use and endless fascination, but maybe that's just my weirdness.
