RE: [Hornlist] stopped horn
Hello Rebecca, it all depends on the size of your hand & the size of the bell. To get a better result for the "few occasions" playing stopped very low - it is rarely in prominent voice - use a wooden mute, lift it a bit & play with an edgy sound. You will be heard better, intonation is much better, you will gain self confidence for this task. After experimenting a bit, you will find it the best way. Nobody will ask you, how you produce the required sounds, they just listen. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Reba McLaurin Sent: Saturday, August 11, 2007 12:59 AM To: The Horn List Subject: Re: [Hornlist] stopped horn Is there any way I can make the stopping more secure in the lower register?

RE: [Hornlist] 9 o'clock hole
If the horn is laid on the chair upside down, means valvesection top touching the chair surface, lead pipe pointing to the "lean" of the chair, there is less chance that the bell touches the surface of the chair or the edge of it & thus be damaged on this fragile neck of the bell flair. The lead pipe is also better protected. Today, a micro fibre towel of neutral color should be at hand not just for whiping off finger prints from the horn, but also to be put between chair surface & horn, to prevent scratches. Just the way I do with my horns. == -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan Beeker Sent: Friday, August 10, 2007 9:41 PM To: horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: Re: [Hornlist] 9 o'clock hole My two cents worth of almost totally unfounded conjecture.

RE: [Hornlist] 9 o'clock hole
Steve, In the 30s, 40s, and 50s, there was (so far as I know) a tendency to play with a darker sound and with contact at 9:00 and loosely open at 3:00. Also, many people hold the horn free now, but a long time ago, it almost always rested on the thigh--you can't easily hold it free at 9:00. I have a Geyer (built in 1938 or 39) that went through many many seasons at the CSO--it was Wedgewood's (who was my teacher) and which had a patch at 8:00 when I got it, and which bell had gotten so thin at the area of 9:00 that on Steve Lewis' recommendation I had the entire interior of the bell silver plated. Was there any difference in sound? None that I could detect.

Not far below that changeover point you get to the flat open E on the F side and the notes down to C# that are based on the same harmonic. The fact that these notes are flat seems to me to be good reason not to make F/Bb changeover as a matter of course, in addition to the other points I made against the idea at the time. Would you agree? As it happens, when tuning at the start of a rehearsal, I tend to play either a B or a fourth-space E when tuning to A, in order to play a note that is higher in the register and therefore can't be bent so easily. Regards Jonathan West Hi Jonathan (and all), Thank you for responding in a clear and courteous way. I was hoping you wouldn't take what i said personally or in a bad way, and you didn't. We do agree on just about everything but maybe this conversation will help others think about what they post. As far as using F horn goes, I have gone in practically all the possible ways, aside from playing everything on high f horn, in my career. When i was in high school I played practically everything on Bb horn because i studied with a trumpet player- a great teacher- who liked to find alternate fingerings. I still use (and teach) some of the fingerings we worked out on Strauss 2 (and other pieces), and these included all F as well as all Bb fingerings on very difficult passages. Much of my time in San Jose Symphony was spent using a Bb/f Paxman with an XL bell and a low f extension for my little finger. If you think your 3rd finger is weak, try to get your 4th finger into the fray! I loved that horn and no one suspected that it wasn't a full double. Great for stand-up solo playing. This came after using a single F horn in grade school- doing most of the first Kopprasch book and the 1st Pottag excerpt book- and now I'm back on a regular double with an L bell Paxman Bb/f descant in reserve. If you ever see my DVDs you will notice that i use a lot of different fingerings and have warmups for both F and Bb horn alone. There are a lot of issues to consider. Often times i just think it is better to stay on one horn or the other to facilitate certain passages- not just for fingerings, but for tone, intonation or feel. For students who have double horns, I'm old fashioned enough to want them to establish a "chosen" fingering set that would include the notes you mention on F horn. (Actually there is more to it than that- like establishing a set fingering pattern because it facilitates learning and clarity of purpose in the brain.) I think it is important for students to learn to adjust these notes or any other notes that need it and the tone is nice. The Bb side in this register has very wide slots and can sound honky without due care. Learning first on the F side is better in my opinion. Also, the C#, as a two valve (sharp) fingering, doesn't suffer much from this flat harmonic so we are really only talking about three notes, depending how the slides are pulled. After mastering the "chosen" set, players should be encouraged to try, and use, alternate fingerings when appropriate. As long as you can play in tune with a good sound (that matches your other notes), there is nothing wrong, and a lot of things right, with using alternate fingerings. In my book I recommend exactly what you said for tuning to concert A. Use B or upper E, especially if you haven't pulled the second valve slide out too far to compensate for T12 notes, which i don't recommend. But that is another story, in my book. For those of you who are interested, my fingering "chart" (really much more) is on the Samples page on my website.

RE: [Hornlist] Mouthpiece buzzing
Singing and buzzing are integral parts of all my lessons. I don't even care to debate the merits or lack thereof regarding the musculature involved, to me it's simply about the ear. Pitch is crucial for both of these as well as tone. A good tone while singing and buzzing almost always equates to a good sound with good air support on the horn. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mathew James Sent: Friday, August 10, 2007 2:40 PM To: The Horn List Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Mouthpiece buzzing I can second the concept Of sing and buzz.

Re: [Hornlist] 9 o'clock hole
I modified my hand position after I began studying with a horn teacher. When I began, I held my thumb on the near side of the bell. It seemed to be the position of choice in my high school band in 1941. I think we all covered a bit more back then 66 years ago. The new, and present position is more open.

RE: [Hornlist] Flight case
I thought I'd add one last bit to this and then let it go - For those of you who aren't looking for a "carry-on" solution but something that can be safely checked and stowed (for those of you who tour often and are on a plane almost every other day), there are a couple solutions. Many folks use the Anvil brand cases for this but they are VERY heavy and quite bulky. However, Pelican offers a line of cases which is very lightweight, very rugged and you can find a case the right size to fit your horn. I buy my Pelicans from B&H Photo Video (www.bhphotovideo.com) since they seem to have the cheapest prices on them. They come with a "pick-and-pluck" foam or naked (no foam at all). I would advise against the P&P foam as it crumbles easy and it's not terribly shock resistant. Instead, there's another company - CaseCad (www.casecad.com) - which will make custom laser cut foam which is a medium density foam and which doesn't flake and get in your valves and on your slides like the P&P foam would. All told, you could get a case and a custom cut insert to securely hold and lock up your horn for around $400-$500. I have no affiliation with any of these companies - I just trust their work implicitly! I carry around 1 case which contains nearly $40,000 of microphones and it's a Pelican with CaseCAD inserts and I wouldn't trade it for the world! One little side benefit - the Pelicans are water tight and buoyant up to a certain weight (more weight than the horn would ever be). That way if the plane goes down over sea, you'll have something to do until the rescue team arrives. Cheers! Jeremy No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
