Re: [Hornlist] HornRoller.com - News for Hornists
PS. I'm covering the 2005 Northeast Horn Workshop in Purchase, NY; if you're planning on attending please take your camera and notepad so you can send me a full report after the event. I'm especially keen to get photos and earwitness accounts of Lowell Greer's hunting horn presentation. I'm hoping it'll bring back memories of when he used to play those things in the corridors of the University of Michigan School of Music (much to the chagrin of the other teachers, I'm sure). Thanks!

[Hornlist] Changing mpc when changing horn
Do most of you, if you regularly play more than one horn, use the same mouthpiece or do you find a favorite mouthpiece for each horn? I assume the reason for playing more than one horn is that they're different, perhaps one smaller bore and one larger, and I'm curious to know how many of you change your mouthpiece, and in what way, to accomodate the difference in the horn. My guess is that most of you stick with the same mouthpiece but, like I said, I'm curious to know if some people don't and what their reasoning might be. Thanks. -S- ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
Re: [Hornlist] Changing mpc when changing horn
I always stuck with the same mp when possible, but sometimes it doesn't make sense (like when playing on a descant horn, natural horn, baroque horn). In those cases it really pays to pick a mp that fits the horn. If I were just switching between double horns I'd always keep the same mp. -Robert ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

Re: [Hornlist] Changing mpc when changing horn
I use the same mouthpiece all the time -- changed mouthpieces a few years ago now use the new mouthpiece all the time on all my various horns, after previously using the same old mouthpiece all the time on all my various horns. The reason for changing was not any dissatisfaction with the old mouthpiece, but rather the discovery that the new mouthpiece offered noticeable improvement. So therefore I follow the advice offered by Alexander Pope a l-o-n-g time ago (1711 A.D.), to wit: Be not the 1st by whom the new is tried Nor yet the last to lay the old aside. -- Alan Cole, rank amateur McLean (Fairfax County), Virginia, USA. ~~~ At 11:08 AM 4/12/2005, you wrote: Do most of you, if you regularly play more than one horn, use the same mouthpiece or do you find a favorite mouthpiece for each horn?

I always use the same rim, but have found that sometimes mouthpieces that are good in one horn, simply don't work that well in another horn.

RE: [Hornlist] Changing mpc when changing horn
Listers, I think it takes several years before a horn player develops enough sensitivity to equipment to even start thinking about different mouthpieces for different horns. This realization comes from years of trying and buying and subsequently selling different mouthpieces... and realizing that I really couldn't interperate the differences meaningly until recently. Of course, switching from a modern single or double to a natural horn or vienna might requires a different mouthpiece CUP even for an ameteur, I don't see any other exceptions. Does anyone disagree?

RE: [Hornlist] Changing mpc when changing horn
I think it is a proven fact that not all mouthpieces work the same on all horns. I have begrudgingly switched cups and shanks to accommodate a different horn (but always use the same rim). My beloved teacher at Juilliard, Ray DeIntinis used to joke that if he were to be robbed on the streets of NY, he would say Take everything but my mouthpiece. He never switched horns either, starting out in the NY Philharmonic with a silver Kruspe and moving to his pre-letter 8D. In typical Pandolfi fashion, I LOVE to play different horns, so my paraphrase to Dinny's line would be Take everything but my rim! -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Steve Freides Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2005 11:08 AM To: 'The Horn List' Subject: [Hornlist] Changing mpc when changing horn Do most of you, if you regularly play more than one horn, use the same mouthpiece or do you find a favorite mouthpiece for each horn?

[Hornlist] (no subject)
I have a horn teacher that basically insists that all of his horn students play a shilke 27 in gold(preferable) when they are of a certain skill level. The guy knows what he is talking about - former CSO and first student of Clevenger, but I am not the average player. Switching to the cup improved everything from my low range to my highs with much better attack - yet still able to keep a sweet tone. The problem is that I have the lips of a tuba player and though I play very well with this mouthpiece (2 years), I have noticed that sometimes notes just won't want to come out because of the small diameter. I love the rim shape and the cup, so does anyone know of a similar mouthpiece in gold with a standard size diameter? ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

RE: [Hornlist] (no subject)
It's not exactly the answer to the question you've asked, and while I don't know the Shilke 27, I have seen Clevenger's mouthpiece, and don't recall the diameter as particularly small-- but why not try a bigger reed on the difficult notes (open the opening of your lips in the mouthpiece--do it mentally and it should likely have a physical counterpart). Just a thought.
