[Hornlist] More mouthpieces
What are some good mouthpieces to buy? Currently, I use a Bach 7, which is good for my tone, but I am starting to think of purchasing a new mouthpiece, maybe something strong in the upper register. ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
[Hornlist] Mouthpiece Needed
Anyone out there have an older MY 15 mouthpiece for sale? Need one immediately. The older ones had a slightly smaller shaft, which I need for one of my European horns. The current ones don't fit quite right. Thanks.

Is this the mouthpiece you're talking about? http://1800usaband.com/htmls/itementryview.asp?itementryid=6121 I'd be happy to give that one a try at some point in the future. I tend, as I mentioned, to a flutie sort of sound although that is gradually diminishing as time goes by. Question - do many of you who play with a wet embouchure prefer gold-plated mouthpieces? They're awfully expensive compared to the silver-plated versions of the same thing.

RE: [Hornlist] Holton Farkas MC mouthpiece - OK for adult beginner?
I would guess that most people prefer gold plated rims with a wet embouchure, but I actually very much prefer silver. I have soft and luxurious lips that when coupled with a gold rim gives me a playing surface so slick that I can hardly set my embouchure. I originally ordered my mouthpiece with a gold rim and had the hardest time with it, so I exchanged for silver.

Re: [Hornlist] Holton Farkas MC mouthpiece - OK for adult beginner?
Yes. The gold plated rim is not any particular advantage unless you are allergic to silver. some folk are. They are a little more slippery on the lip than silver. I don't use a wet embouchure. Current prices are quite low from Giardinelli.com.

Re: [Hornlist] More mouthpieces
That's a very individual thing and depends on your mouth and lip structure. If you ask anyone, it should be your teacher. I myself find that that a Vincent Bach 3 gives me a better low range AND better high range. Go figure. Herb Foster --- Karl W. Feinauer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What are some good mouthpieces to buy?

RE: [Hornlist] More mouthpieces
There is no mouthpiece, which is strong in the high register. The player must do it. Well, admitted, there are some tiny spucknapf mouthpieces with a very tight bore. You can get the stratospheres with them, but how about the tone ? It is mere squeaking nothing else. A bore of 5 mms or just below suits very well for high low middle, as it has just the necessary resistance. If the hole is bigger the sound gets undistinguished, if the hole is narrower, the sound starts to squeak and the resistance increases. With a certain resistance, e.g. as with my mouthpieces, the entrance in ppp from nowhere is possible. Narrower bore mpieces start to blop or to blair. Visit my mouthpiece page: www.pizka.de/mpiece.htm and/or my pages about my horns www.pizka.de/PizClasHr.htm or www.pizka.de/MySiegfriedHorn.htm Have three of them in stock now. I received the newest few days ago gave it a test run during La Boheme yesterday night, - an opera, where one has to play very delicate -, well, not a surprise, the horn sounds excellent. Mouthpieces are in stock, silver plated or gold plated. Merry Christmas Happy New Year to everybody here on the list. May we get peace for those countries tortured by civil war or other atrocities. == -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Karl W.

[Hornlist] Bernstein s: West Side Story
Hi, In a couple of weeks I am playing an arrangement for Wind Band of Orchestral Suite of Bernsteins West Side Story. From Measure 7 or 8 he writes an number of measures muted. But there is only a little time to get the mute in. I wonder: Did Berntein really want to have a muted horn or did he mean a stopped horn ? In my opinion stopping would have some technical but also some muscial advantages. It is much easier and faster to switch to stopped horn and it blends better with the muted trumpets who are using cup mutes. In the rest of the piece only stopped horn is prescribed. Please your opinion.

[Hornlist] Re:Double Concerto
Hi Paul: Look up the Concerto for Two Horns by Francesco Barsanti (1690-1772). A little later than the Vivaldi pieces, much more of a Handelian flavor. The music should be available; I played it many years ago with a college orchestra. It was also recorded (on LP) at least once, as far as I know.
