Last I heard, a Lewis is competitively priced at
around $7000 for the base model, 'bout the same as all
the other custom horn makers.

Re: [Hornlist] Re: Music (was Elliot Carter Horn Concerto)

2007-11-19 Thread G
Well, if you really want to go there, one of my "top
five" favorite composers is Krysztof Penderecki. I
skipped many (too many) classes as an undergrad,
sitting in the music library listening to his music
and following the scores. The payoff, I suppose, was
teaching the last two sessions of music history. My
professor admitted that he knew less about 20th
century music than I did, being the staunch Romantic
that he was. Never have played any Penderecki, and
let's face it...it's not very likely even in the major
leagues.

There is also a wonderful Requiem by Frigyes Hidas; he
scored it for soloists, choir, and band. I met him at
the Midwestern Band and Orchestra Convention in
Chicago. Wonderful man...he seemed genuinely humbled,
if not a little surprised, that an American was
familiar with his music. He gave me a couple of CDs. 

And whilst we are on the subject of Carter, let us not
forget the Eight Etudes and a Fantasy for Woodwind
Quartet.

This is all too hard.  I think I'll just sniff the Crazy Glue and then
fantasize I play horn and write humorous posts as well as Kendall Betts, the
Barry Bonds of the horn world (meaning, he hits lots of home runs, with or
without Crazy Glue).

Yes, discussing MUSIC has a place on this list.  The subject breached  was
ELLIOT CARTER!

Reminds me of a story about Sir Thomas Beecham.  He was being  interviewed
by
the BBC.  The interviewer asked "Sir Thomas, do you ever  perform the music
of Arnold Schoenberg?"  He replied "No. But I stepped in  some, once."

As to high f above high c,  the only time I've ever played them in  public
was during performances of the Schultz Concerto Ex Dis.   Several of them.
Didn't miss any.  Had a lot of 16th notes, so I  oiled my valves really
well, too.
 Ended the cadenza with a lip trill on a  high c.  Got paid a nice fee for
the gig.  Wouldn't have done the  piece for free, even at home, alone.  I
was
lucky that the piece was all in  Eb and had very few rests, unlike
Rigoletto.
Also lucky that the most  bars rest after the opening tutti was only four,
so no
problem counting  those on one hand.  Continuo player brought me in the
first
time by yelling  "Now" really loud at the appropriate moment since the tutti
was 32 bars long and  I had run out of digits.  Since I was a 1st horn
player
at the time, I was  use to having an asst. count for me and bring me in.  I
prepared by lifting  weights with my chops for months ahead of time.  Also
took
my teacher's  advice as he states in his treatise, "Hooked on Hornonics."  I
practiced  Kopprasch No. 1 up an octave in Eb horn.  That way I played high
g's
 routinely, and loud!  The f's in mf felt like third space c in  comparison.
Also got my front crowns re-cemented in with Crazy Glue.   Delta Dental did
not honor the claim.  Like I said earlier, insurance is a  racket  I got the
idea from that commercial on TV with the guy hanging from  the steel beam by
his
hard hat.  The reviewer for the paper  accused me of using steroids in order
to enhance my performance.  He  retracted the statement and apologized
publicly later after I explained in a  letter to the editor that Kopprasch
was not a
steroid, just good healthy  exercise.

Sorry to stray from music to discuss adhesives, steroids and critics.

PS: If you receive a horn by UPS with loose braces because they dropped it
or whatever, file the claim, collect the money and then fix them yourself
with
Crazy Glue thus pocketing the insurance money.  You can really scam them if
you buy an old junker on eBay, unsolder the braces and add a few dents, ship
it  to a trusted friend insured for $25,000 making sure they write "High
Value
Item: $25,000" in magic marker on the box, bang up the box when it arrives
just  in case they didn't, file the claim for a totaled horn, collect the
money,
 let UPS keep the horn, have a big party, take a vacation to Hawaii or Las
Vegas,  whatever.  This works good with cars, also, but don't try shipping a
car
 UPS as they will make you double box it and you will spend more on bubble
wrap  and packing peanuts than the car is worth, unless it is an old Jugo or
Ford  Pinto.  If you ship a Pinto, make sure you write "FLAMMABLE" on the
box in
big red letters.

RE: [hornlist] Soundwear

2007-11-19 Thread Dorothy Lowry

I recently purchased this gig bag and have been very impressed.  While it is a 
softside bag, it is much sturdier than most other bags I looked at including 
Reunion Blues.  I think what I like best is that the horn sits upright in the 
case - not upsidedown on the leadpipe.  I play an 8D and it is a tight fit, but 
that also means that the horn is not sliding around inside the case.  The 
storage area on the end is a great size.  My tuner, oils, repair stuff and my 
stopmute all fit without any problems.  In addition, it comes with a mouthpiece 
case that would probably hold at least two mouthpieces - maybe more.
 
I purchased mine from Dillon Music in NJ - www.dillonmusic.com.  They did not 
have the bag in stock at the time I ordered it so it took a few weeks to get, 
but it was well worth the wait.  I also thought their price for the bag was 
fair and shipping was reasonable if you pick the standard UPS shipping.
 
If you are looking for a sturdy gig bag, this is defititly a bag to consider.

Black seems a logical choice. Partly because it isn't a colour - and therefore 
won't clash with other colours. Partly because, as I see it a black mute is 
more "discreet" and contributes to a less "fussy" stage.

Then again - the fact that we had a can of black spray paint lying around was 
also a factor!

RE: [Hornlist] Re: Mute problem

2007-11-19 Thread Loren Mayhew
Personalized mutes are expressions of your individual beauty; but why 
black? It is so Victorian (mournful) and besides, black is not even a color.
This propensity for black for formal use has its source in Prince 
Albert's premature death in 1861. Prior to that life was much more colorful 
colorful; but Queen Victoria never overcame her mourning for Albert and ordered 
just about everything in England to be black which order lasted until her 
death. By then, black had stuck. That is why so much decorative wrought iron is 
black, many doors were painted black (Dublin is an exception) and formal attire 
became black. Somehow this even filtered to a large degree to the United States 
probably in sympathy because of our country's English roots.

Graham, et al.,



It's a pleasure to be of assistance. I'm glad you painted your mute. Some 
people would be taken aback to find out how many professional players are still 
playing their old "red & whites" tricked out with black paint and a wrist loop, 
just as you have done. (Hint: cover the corks with tape before spray painting!) 
Choice of mute is just as personal as choice of horn, and if you prefer your 
H&B then so much the better for you. When you paint your old mute black you 
eliminate the critic who tends to "listen with his eyes".

I just wanted to report back with news of a successful operation. My good old 
&B has never been so good. Dave's instructions were wonderful and I took the 
hance to spraypaint the mute with black paint (very stylish) and fit a loop to 
acilitate quick changes. we play the Beethoven Violin Concerto and a West Side 
tory pot pourri on Sunday and I need the mute for both.
Thanks again,
