[Hornlist] rotor bumpers
One of my private students is using a horn recently serviced by our school's instrument lease outfit. During the lesson, one of the recently replaced rotor stops fell out. I thought it was customary to superglue neoprene rotor stops into the cup. (The last guy to work on my 20L glued them.) The shop who fixed it doesn't think so. Who's right? Mark J.

Re: [Hornlist] rotor bumpers - to cork or not to cork
superglue neoprene rotor stops In my very unofficial and certainly unscientific testing of different materials for rotor stops, I have yet to find a material that matches good quality cork. It's easy to trim and shape, stays in place and, for me, has the best combination of firmness and suppleness. I've tried several differents kinds of rubber, neoprene, silicone and even plastic tubing. One of the materials I really liked was from rubber exhaust hangers by VW. Problem was though that it was very difficult to trim making proper alignment hard to achieve.

Re: [Hornlist] rotor bumpers - to cork or not to cork
Osmun used to sell (and they may still do) neoprene rotor stop material. I have a few inches of it in my toolkit. I prefer neoprene to cork because I once had cork rotors in my old Holton before I sold it. The cork wore out within a year. To replace it I basically bought a rubber washer kit for 99 cents at the hardware store, found a thick rubber washer that fit, and cut it into the proper length with an x-acto knife. It did the job. -William In a message dated 8/9/2005 8:46:17 A.M.

Re: [Hornlist] Pros vs Amateurs
I have to agree. Since I was in high school I have ushered for the local symphony/pops and the soloists that they have brought in have ranged from Itzahk Perlman to Barry Tuckwell [sadly I was in college 4 hours away singing Messiah so I missed my best chance to meet thim.] I was fortunate enough to spend 45 minutes just hanging with David Bilger during the second half of the concert - just keeping a lonely soloist company and getting a great perspective on the life. Uniformly all of these world class musicicans were warm, friendly, and generous with their insight. Including all five of the Canadian Brass. [Dave Ohanion being the hornplayer then, who went on to prove himself a genuine hero when he graciously conducted the first two Osmun Music Horn Choir afternoons] I have also spent way too much time with everyone from local well-knowns to those best described as up-and-coming B-Listers who ranged from snotty, egotistical, to polite at best. Some were genuinely warm and friendly, but not nearly as much as those whose name everybody knew. Just my $.02 worth.

Bottom line for me is that the golden rule trumps ability and position.

RE: [Hornlist] rotor bumpers
If the stop plates are correctly shaped they will not need glue to hold the bumpers in place. The holder needs to be tight enough to hold the bumper without compressing it too much and should not have any sharp edges to cut the bumper material. If you need to use glue to hold the bumpers in place use a tiny dot of superglue, applied with a pin, to hold them until a competent repairman can set them up correctly.

I have a slightly different take and language for a similar observation: my experience has been that those who are half-way up the ladder and who are stuck there or are on the downward side of the ladder, tend to be very hard to deal with. Those who are half-way and content, are half-way but still ascending, are at the top of the ladder, or who are gracefully experiencing a downward movement (e.g. retirement) tend to be very easy to deal with. I think it has to do with a certain professional bitterness at not being where you want to be and taking it out on others through the idea that beating up on the lesser being makes you a greater being. My experience also is that this extends pretty much to all fields and not just music performance.

[Hornlist] Signing off for a few weeks
Just a note to say thank you again to everyone here for their assistance during the past year. I've been playing for about one year now, and tonight I celebrated by slowing making my way through Handel's Every Valley aria from The Messiah. I'm a tenor and I know this one by heart (when I was in college, my teacher referred to this as Steve's song), so this was without written music, just me playing the vocal line at concert pitch from end to end. It went slowly - student horn repertoire seems to be almost exclusively in flat keys and Every Valley is in E major - but it was a blast to do. See you all in September. -S- ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
