Re: [Hornlist] Elliot Carter Horn Concerto
Chacun a son gout...I guess. Nevertheless, I thought the whole point of blowing the horn was to make music, so doesn't talking about music have a place on this list? Comparing the various attributes of valve oil makes for interesting chit-chat, now and then, but I don't think that it's an end in itself, do you? What's the point of playing that high f above c without a musical context? Might as well take up weight lifting. I'm an old reprobate. I didn't like Schoenberg until the first time I played a Schoenberg composition. Ditto Webern and Petrassi. I didn't think much of Berio until a trombonist friend of mine, Stu Dempster, performed---and I do mean "performed"---a Berio piece. While I still would rather play anything by Brahms or Mozart or [insert name of favorite composer here] in comparison to some contemporary composers, the fact remains that our instrument is being presented with new challenges that are certainly worth discussing.

Re: RE: [Hornlist] Re: Shipping horns
Another suggestion: Don't send the horn "and case", send the horn in a "specially designed transportation apparatus" with strict instructions that the contents must not be touched with the bare hands, and must be kept in a pressurised (~1000hPa) atmosphere of 80% nitrogen at all times or else they will ...( add your own scary consequence). Horn players will know that most manufacturers supply these devices with the instrument. But seriously, what do they do with items that will seriously damage the customs inspector if opened without due precautions? Call the bomb squad?

[Hornlist] Re: Re:Ethical dilemma - how to pack a horn for delivery
I've taken it to the extreme and just made several VERY long driving trips to pick up horns. I didn't want to take the chance that some irreplaceable vintage parts might get damaged. The upside is, I got to sightsee some very nice parts of the country. I'm getting perilously close to my 1,000th eBay sale (989 tonight) and I've never had any trouble with any of the shipping companies. I'm knocking on wood. I try to pack things so they can be dropped a couple of stories without getting hurt because I figure they WILL do that. I've shipped everthing from metal alto clarinets to sousaphones. I'm liking the post office lately because I can print out the shipping label online and then just drop it off at the back door of the post office, no questions asked and no waiting, they know me there. - Steve Mumford ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

[Hornlist] Travel in Nepal pt.2
Well, from Kathmandu we flew to the strangest airport, Lukla (you find it in YouTube). Watch the landing & departure to know all about. But we felt not that dramatic, except when we flew back to Kathmandu & got the last flight around noon, when the clouds had begun to fog everything. But all went smooth. The first two days where hard somewhat with 8 hours walking per day, but what kind of walking ? Down for 350 meters in altitude from initial 2880 meters. Up again for 300 m, a first hanging bridge of some 150 m length, some 50 m above ground & a bit swinging. But after the first bridge crossing, we became used until the very long bridge 150 m above ground, just before the strenuous very steep ascend to Namche Bazaar (3.550 m) with a climb of 750 m, very narrow path & extremely steep sides, nearly free fall for 800 m. And the millions of stone steps, some high 40 cms (16"). The knees very forced to obey my commands, but sometimes painful, special when walking down. Well, one valley followed the other until we reached this bridge (no.16 !!). Namche Bazaar, a bigger settlement, the entry point to the MtEverest region. Weather was at best, we had not a single rain drop for six weeks. Namche was just to regain knee power and to prepare for more, when walking up to Khumjung & Khunde & the Everest View Hotel, but we had seen Everest during our ascend to Namche. From the Everest View Hotel, built for Japanese guests flown in by helicopte. The hotel has also containing pressured cabins /rooms to acclimatisate & prevent high altitude sickness ($ 135.- /person). Everything must be carried on the back of the sherpa people for ten days, some of them carrying over hundred kilos, twice their own weight. The view was incredible: Ama Dablam to the right (the most beautiful mountain), streight forward Lhotse & in the far back MtEverest, left back Khunde Ri & right back Thamserku. We proceeded to Tengboche after another deep valley (450 m down, 600 up) & got our first nightmare: no room in no lodge due to the Mani Rhimdu Buddhist Festival. We found a solution & spent a night in a tent, outside temp. was -5 C, but fleece jacket warmed me like a bear skin - this plastic recycle cloth are really protective. The toilet situation was terrible there, as most travellers were not used to this kind of Indian toilet, so there was sh... Everywhere. We preferred "on the rocks". Magnificent view to all sides in the morning. After another night in the lodge we proceeded to Pangboche & finally Periche (4260 m), but to reach it, we had to cross an emergency bridge of 12 m, 6 m above the strong current, no rope to hold, just two planks held together by a rope, also inclining to the right. My wife got a hand from our guide & seemed to crossd this ?bridge? With no problems. There I stood like a bathed poodle. Well, I checked the situation (alternative were a 4 hours deviation or wading through the current at the old bridges site), measured the steps needed for the crossing, closed my eyes twice - and made it whistling a funny melody. As we arrived a midday, I used the afternoon to climb up the moraine dividing us from the next destination Dingboche. The moraine was about 400 m tall (means up to 4660 m) & there was a narrow valley between the two sides of the moraine. What a beautiful silence, like in the best sound studio. A lammergeier flew just 30 m above me, Edelweiss & Enzian plenty, strange rock formations & blue sky, best view to the Lhotse & Ama Dablam, also Makalu, Island Peak, Baruntse & P38. So next day, we crossed over to Dingboche & spent two nights in the Hotel Family - most places charged 20.- USD for a double with private toilet. We got a thermos of 3 lit. Hot water from the kitchen & had to mix it with the ice cold water in the morning. Unbelieveable, how good these old chinese thermos works. This place was at 4.460 m altitude. Because of the big japanese & Italian groups trecking up to MtEverest Base camp, where night tempos were at -30 C. I where most of them had to sleep in their sleeping bags in the dining hall, we decided to remain in the other valley, where we were near to Lhotse for less than 5 kms & near to Mt.Everest for just 8 kms or 5 mls. One walk up the valley led us to Chukhung at an altitude of 4.730 meters, which was plenty high for us. But we had zero problems with the altitude, no headache, no stomach or breathing problems. The way back was made in four days only, as we got better & better in walking the more we left the higher region. So we could run where it was possible, while the way up MUST be slow, slow & slow again (because the health risk). Our guide was very kind & helpful & played the banboo flute for us while walking or resting. Our porter, a cook in a Kathmandu hotel, carried our 30 kgs luggage & run infront of us to look for the lodges & prepared our room. We will do such an adventure again, off course, but in two years when we will surround the Annapurna (much less steps) but up to 5.200
