 My favorites are as follows:
  
 1. Vienna Philharmonic- Incredible intonation, deep and dark sound,  unique 
 from other orchestra's sound wise and stylistically. 
  
 2. London Symphony- Star wars,which as you all know, VERY good  recordings. 
 Horn section is super loud but not overly loud, overall intonation  is 
 incredible.
  
 3. Berlin Phil- Not too familiar with their current status on how  they sound
 
 , but the older recordings were quite good. Their Tchaik 4 was  particularly 
 good to my taste.
  
 4. Chicago- Loud brass, sometimes overly done, but none the less,  very 
 dramatic and helps with the emotion of the music come to  life.

RE: [Hornlist] Horn case on ailines

2004-12-17 Thread Fred Baucom
A couple years ago, the musician's union (in the U.S.) negotiated an 
arrangement with the Dept. of Transportation to allow instruments to be brought 
on board.  There were a couple of letters available thru the union, one from 
the Transportation Dept., the other from the union that both confirmed this 
arrangement, so that these can be copied and produced at the airport to remind 
airline and security personnel of this.  You might be able to find these on the 
AFM website and print them off.  Failing that, you might want to call ahead and 
explain your situation and ask them if they are aware of the agreement between 
the Trans Dept and the union...this might speed up the process when you arrive 
at airport.

Wrapping the horn in bubble plastic sheet  packing it into a strong

[Hornlist] A weekend in New York

2004-12-17 Thread Jeff Broumas
I was flying this last weekend, taking people to New York. I saw in the paper 
the Phil was putting on it's annual Christmas Brass concert. 

The Canadian Brass and the Phil Brass was absolutely phenomenal. Phil Meyers 
has a sound which is second to none.

When Phil played out, he filled the hall with such a gorgeous horn tone that it 
was awe inspiring.

It was a fantastic treat for me. I hope everyone, when visiting New York, will 
be able to make the trek to the Center and get their fill of Phil.

[Hornlist] Re: Storage

2004-12-17 Thread Ted Durant
Apparently I'm not the only one for whom horn storage is a recent household 
topic. I have 2 horns, 2 hard cases, and 2 gig bags, plus the usual pile of 
music, mutes, mouthpieces, tools, toothbrushes, etc.  My wife went on a 
shopping expedition to Ikea intent on finding something to hold all of it and 
what she brought back is perfect - a wardrobe. For those not familiar with the 
term, it's a box around 5 feet (1.5 m) tall, with doors on the front, intended 
for storing clothes. Inside is a bar across the top for hanging clothes, and a 
couple of shelves at the bottom. I didn't install the bar, but instead screwed 
two rubber-coated J-hooks (the same kind that hang my 8 bicycles) into the top. 
Two horns fit easily, and I think four would fit if you were careful. The 8D 
hard case and the fixed-bell gig bag fit on the bottom shelf. The cut-bell hard 
case and gig bag fit on the upper shelf, along with the rest of the stuff. 
Another shelf would be a big help - should be a simple matter of a piece of 
pine and some brackets. It's very nice to be able to empty the horn, hang it on 
the hook, and close the doors.

[Hornlist] Horns on airlines

2004-12-17 Thread Brent Shires
Season's Bleatings to you all. 

I thought you might find this information useful since the ugly topic
of traveling by air with horns has lifted off once again. I have had
wonderful, and other times merciless, treatment from the airlines with
my instrument. There seems to be no rhyme or reason why the individual
airlines choose to allow a horn onboard one day and not the next. There
are, of course, some obvious reasons, including how full the flight is,
the size of the cabin and its storage space, and how rude the customer
has been to the gate attendants. But there is still no consistency
within an airline, let alone the same daily flight. In the past, when I
used a hard case, I could often simply request to pre-board with my horn
and find a space, and that worked really well (the closets up front are
great). Other times I've been told to board with everyone else, and
still other times they've insisted that the hard-case horn be packed
down below with the snarling dogs. Since I bought my Thompson Edition
case, I've rarely had trouble getting it cabinside.

Travelling to Spain with my horn studio this summer demonstrated these
difficulties. Our travel agent had made arrangements early on with Delta
to take good care of the 14 horns going with us, by handling them as
fragile if they could not go above board. Some hard cases got on, some
were required to go below. While sitting on the tarmac waiting, we
watched in abject horror as cargo workers hurled the horns onto the
belt. this AFTER I had spoken with the check-in people about the
necessity of handling them as fragile. I will probably not fly Delta
again, at least not on my own tab.

This information is taken from the website of the American Federation
of Musicians (www.afm.org):

***Musical Instruments As Carry-On Luggage
Since 9-11 and the resulting heightened airport security, musicians
have had difficulties carrying their instruments to out of town gigs. To
remedy this, AFM worked with Congress to insure that the 2001 Airport

accommodate musicians and their instruments. When it was found that, in
spite of this language, musicians were still having problems at the
airports, the AFM persuaded the U.S. Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) to issue a directive to its personnel requiring
them to accommodate musicians. The resulting TSA letter has practically
eliminated problems with government screeners, but musicians are still

The actual ruling allows you to carry on an instrument, and it will not  
count as one of your carry on items.  Just remember, that this ruling by  the 
FAA 
in association with the AFM applies only to instruments that already  meet the 
carry on guidelines.  You can't carry on a tuba or a string bass  and expect 
them to stow it up front next to the peanuts and behind the coffee  maker.  
Fixed bell horn cases will never meet these guidelines, nor will  many cut bell 
cases.  But, even though it doesn't meet the guidelines, it's  not off by much 
in most situations.  
 
Getting a horn case on board, no matter what the design, can sometimes be a  
breeze, and sometimes be a pain.  Be persistent and insistent, but polite,  
and the crew will almost always accomodate your request to carry on and stow  
your horn.  Let them know what it is and how valuable it is (and don't be  
afraid to exaggerate its value - they don't know).  Don't forget that these  
crew 
sometimes deal with real jerks who insist that they carry on half the gift  
shop from Disney World in the fifteen steamer trunks they just bought at 
Walmart  
- just so they won't have to wait at the baggage claim area.  A little bit  
of consideration toward the crew can go a long way.  (I know it's a little  
bit big, but it's my livelihood and extremely valuable.  I need it tomorrow  
for 
a concert.  Could you please help me stow it conveniently here in the  cabin? 
 It has always fit before.)

[Hornlist] Re: Top 4 Orchestras in the world

2004-12-17 Thread Peter Hirsch
I am absolutely NOT going to contribute names, not because I don't have 
favorites, but since this is way, way, subjective. What I do want to add 
to the discussion are the red herrings of live in person vs. on CD (LP, 
87, wax cylinder, etc.). I could also add the variables of at home vs. 
on tour (maybe add beginning of tour vs. end of tour), with the resident 
MD vs. under a guest conductor or standard tunes vs. new repertoire.

I guess what I am trying to say, I have heard all of the orchestras 
mentioned so far (I was an usher at Carnegie Hall for several years, 
still have subscription tickets there, have a friend in the chorus at 
the Met who comes through with comps, have a sizeable collection of 
recordings to name some of my credentials in this area) and I have heard 
all of them sound superlative on occasion and not so hot on others. As 
much as the idea of absolute measurement and ranking may have its 
appeals, there is no sense whatever in thinking this way. I am glad to 
say that I have memories of more than a dozen orchestral concerts that 
ALL rank as without question the best I ever heard and this is exactly 
as it should be. I also have to note that I live in a city with two 
pre-eminent orchestral concert halls, one of which has over a century of 
universal praise for its acoustics and another that has endured 42 years 
of scorn from critics and musicians in this same department (you all 
know which venues I'm talking about). I'm sure that there are more or 
less an equal number of world class orchestras booked for both of these 
halls, but only one of them has been the site of all the concerts that I 
left feeling that I had heard what an orchestra is supposed to be all 
about. You can draw your own conclusions and discuss amongst yourselves.

To further wander off topic, I can add to this the fact that I have now 
been around long enough to have heard the same orchestra(s) over a span 
of up to 40 years. When you want to know what I think of the NY Phil, do 
you mean Maazel and Myers, Boulez and Cerminaro or Bernstein and 
Chambers, when you want my opinion of Cleveland, I'm still hearing Bloom 
under Szell in my head, though it would be pretty hard to do a 
toe-to-toe comparison with it's current incarnation.

So now I've told you pretty much all I think without really telling you 
what I think, re: the subject, at all.

Have a nice weekend,

I've experienced similar situations in which every time I've flown with a horn
it's been different.  The most recent time I flew was the easiest.  I had a
plan in mind before I got on after my trip to my location was not horn
condusive.  I boarded the small propeller plane last in case I would need to
place my horn in a locker.  I explained to the flight attendant that I was
previously unaware that I would be flying on a smaller plane, and that my horn
case, while it fits larger planes, is unlikely to fit on the smaller planes.  I
said if there were any empty seats, I could belted it down in on, or store it
on the floor beneath.  I then said that I am unable to check it under the plane
because of it's fragile and expensive nature and I asked if there was a uniform
locker that I could place it in until the flight was over.  Maybe she was
having a good day or was just a nice person in general, but she had no problem
with me putting my horn in the locker and all was good.

[Hornlist] Tubbiness

2004-12-17 Thread Larry Jellison
Was it Mr. Reiner who didn't like the large bell sound
and referred it as tubbiness?  So, this is a
derogatory term of a sound characteristic due to the
large throat design.  This issue could be put on a
more objective basis.

Sing any pitch, first with an ee sound, then drop
your tongue to produce the same pitch with an ah
sound.  You just went from a small throat to a
large throat sound. How can the same pitch sound so
different?  The difference can be due to both the
shape of the wave patterns of the funadamental tone
and overtones as well as a change in the volume of
each overtone.  The ee sound is more focused, more
responsive, and the ah sound is more resonant, less
responsive.  Certainly the ee sound will cut through
the competition of other instruments, but the ah
sound can provide a rounder, fuller, more powerful, if
less focused, presence.

I think the large throated belled Holtons have a very
characteristic sound that can identify them as
Holtons.

We can appreciate the difference in the charateristic
sound resulting from the bell throat size.  You can
often listen to a horn recording and think the player
is using a small, medium, or large throated belled
horn. We can enjoy the sound of each size.

Hornists with large belled horns can strive for
clarity and responsiveness to overcome the undesirable
characteristics of their horn design.

these were BIG cracks. I had to buy a new case when I got home. It's 
sad considering I had HUGE red stickers that said fragile all over 
it.

I'm not surprised at all.  Whoever told you that a 747
would fit in the overhead bin of an Airbus?  And how did
you get that thing through baggage screening?
Gotta go,
