[Hornlist] Re : A new mouthpipe
There are several talented builders who produce great mouth pipes, some of them were mentioned in your post . I , personally , have an Atkinson mouth pipe and it seem to do the job . but the advice I can give you is not to confuse yourself with too meny choices . pick three or four mouth pipes , and play the hell out of them for a few days . Ignore very subtle differences - the number of variables is big enough to ignore them . Look for sound , intonation , ease and range . use a recorder while testing .

[Hornlist] breathing and support
When I studied horn 40 years ago, I was told to take deep breath, expanding lower rib cage and below, then support sound as you play by pushing out ( some said), pulling in (others said), pushing down(another said). A later voice teacher told me to support sound as above and would chastise me when she could "hear" I was not supporting sound. I know that in the voice area there have many books written on this subject. However, a recent horn teacher advocated taking the good deep breath as above and as you play, don't worry about it. Things will take care of themselves naturally. That goes against the earlier training, but I get the idea that the recent horn teacher may not be the only one advocating that. What to do!

[Hornlist] Capo di Capi Tutti
Well, assuming you're serious, which I doubt, it would have to be "da capos." "Da capo" is an Italian phrase, and you have nounified it into English, so it would be pluralized as an English word. Ain't English wonderful? I believe that in the Mafia, the head of the the "commission" was called the Capo da Capi Tutti, or the Boss of all Bosses. So I could venture a guess that it might be "da Capi".

[Hornlist] HR now - questionum linguini
Right, Herb. There was a serious component to my question, but fun
too. I was writing to someone about a music book that I like to play
along with - I might have mentioned it here long ago, but I don't
remember. It is "The Complete Irish Tinwhistle Book", by L.E.
McCullough. The book contains 125 Irish tunes: jigs (double, single and
slip jigs - never heard of these sub-categories before), reels,
hornpipes, polkas and others. The book comes with 4 CDs which contain
all of the tunes played by a real Irish tinwhistle with (usually) guitar
accompaniment. Instead of music-minus-one format, each tune appears
twice on the CD - first a slower practice version, then up to speed.
And as you may have guessed by now, they take all written repeats, but
not da capos.
The tunes are all in the key of G or D, as they are written for D
tinwhistle. In true fake-book style, there are also guitar chords
throughout. Hornists must transpose the tunes to C. I bought mine at
Fluteworld ( http://www.fluteworld.com ) for $29.95. Wonderful fun to
play along with or just listen to!
