[Hornlist] List of beginner mouthpieces
The mpc you mention are all acceptable for beginner and general-purpose use - if the rim fits the player's lips teeth. I would also include the Holton DC in the list, and the various Yamaha and Schilke models if they are available to try-out - but don't waste time and money on an extensive search unless none of the accessable choices are satisfactory regarding fit feel. Just choose one that fits comfortably - not too big, not too small, not too thin, not too fat. After you have developed a secure 'public performance playing range' from G below the staff to G above the staff, then it might be reasonable to start trying other mpc to see if they give any advantage.

Re: [Hornlist] Chambers/Jones mouthpieces
Didn't Chambers study at Curtis? paxmaha Richard V. West [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hornisti: Dell'Osa was a Philadelphia mouthpiece maker. He made mouthpieces for Mason Jones, other members of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and countless Curtis graduates. I rather doubt he made a mouthpiece for Chambers (a Noo Yowkah!), when Giardinelli was already in the picture. Dell'Osa mouthpieces generally have a deeper, more V-shaped bowl than the C1-C8 mouthpieces of Giardinelli, with a variety of bores and rims. I was told when I visited the shop in Philadelphia many years ago that Dell'Osa essentially did it all by eye. Stranger things have happened, though, so this assumption could be wrong. If so, I'd love to see the evidence.

[Hornlist] Compositions for horn, marimba, and piano
Hello Hornlisters. Im trying to find pieces for a core group of horn, piano, and marimba. Other percussion could substitute for marimba, but marimba is our first sound-choice. Were wiling to expand to a quartet or quintet if necessary. Any suggestions/leads? Thanks, Linda ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
