[Hornlist] Sterling Silver Bells.
Anyone have a opinion as to how Sterling Silver bells respond in both pit orchestra and large hall playing? Are they as heavy feeling as I would imagine? I played a Sterling leadpipe, it was different. Playing in a pit, Sotto Voce works the best for most of the book( and the killer microphone that amplifies me, Neumann I believe). I wonder how a Sterling Silver bell works with a Sotto Voce approach and amplified. Contrast that with large orchestral work.and needing to be heard at a distance. It seems many Sterling bells have been bought, so I imagine someone has some actual playing experience with them, other than Schmid's analysis, which is always seems spot on, but I was curious as to other opinions from our breathen and sisters.

Re: [Hornlist] Meinl Flare: Good, Bad or Ugly? Alexander 107
Dear Nelson, What differences you notice? What type of metal was the bell made of? Was the bell a particular model or size? What metal is your 107? When was your 107 made? Have you made any modifications to this horn? Avrum PS: I¹ve played goldbrass 107s as my main instrument since 1971, and played on a borrowed brass 106 since 1969. From: Nelson R.

Re: [Hornlist] Mahler 9 excerpt.
Most likely the exposed solo (with woodwinds), measure 381 to 391. I worked this up for an audition in the early '90s Dan On Dec 7, 2006, at 10:07 PM, Mathew James wrote: Hi all.

subject: [Hornlist] Mahler 9 excerpt.
Hi Mathew, The book I use for auditions and study is David Thompson's Orchestral Audition Repertoire. It contains complete parts, not just excerpts. I can't remember specifically, but I think Mahler 9 is in it. It's a wonderful book, and I use it all the time. The parts come in a binder so that you can take out what you need and not carry the rest of the 1000 pages with you. The only drawback, it's about $100 - but I've gotten that much use out of it. You can find it at: http://www.thompsonedition.com/ Hope that helps, Anna Hi all. I am preparing a mock audition and one exceprt is Mahler 9, a first honr one.

RE: [Hornlist] Repeated F# - entrances
What is so difficult with the f#2 ??? Yes, I know, that´s the same as the c#2 on the f-horn, when done with 12. If you are used to play the f2 with Bb-1 instead of BB-0, it is better in pitch, derivating from the 9th harmonic. So be the f#2 just with B-2. But Nutcracker We play the whole Nutcacker (nickname) ballet music upside down. === -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 08, 2006 5:45 PM To: horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: [Hornlist] Repeated F# - entrances How about 1st and 3rd Horn, Nutcracker, Marche? ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/hans%40pizka. de ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

Re: [Hornlist] Meinl Flare: Good, Bad or Ugly?
In a message dated 12/7/06 11:52:08 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I think Paul Navarro was working with Meinl 5 to 7 years ago to develop an 8d replacement flare. Perhaps this is one of those. Paul contributes to this list from time to time, so perhaps he will give better and more specific information. Yes, I did work with Ewald Meinl and do import his bells, including the one we came up with for the Elkhart 8D replacement flare. Many professionals use these flares on their 8D's. I have installed them on approx. 60 Elkhart 8D's for clients. Unfortunately, they are untimely to get at this time-due to personnel problems that Ewald is experiencing at his shop. The order time is taking approx. one year. Hopefully this will change in the near future. The player who wrote saying he used a Meinl flare with his Alex 107 could not likely have been using one of the ones I import because there is a large size difference between the flare for an 8D and one for an Alex 107. The ledge between the two flares would certainly create acoustical problems for a sensitive performer. One must be mindful that trying different flares on a horn is not as simple as just making sure that the rings are compatible. There are several important parameters that need to be met to make sure that, while a certain flare may seem to improve a horn, the flare should also be either compatible with the overall harmonic series of the instrument or a total improvement of the series, and not just influencing one particular aspect positively while degrading a nother aspect at the same time.
