David Ogden Stiers also conducts the Newport Symphony in Oregon at least once per season and also usually the 4th of July concert. He is actually way better than some folks who work at it full time AND he is very nice to us horns! Dave Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

I did Peter and Wolf with him in Gainesville, way back when, 1992 I think. The narrator was Michael J Fox. They came up from Orlando and did it for free. It was very cool.

[Hornlist] RE:Olds
Sounds more like the Olds Geyer version rather than the 6D clone, at least that's my interpretation of the post. Seems these were made in the 50s and 60s, though it shouldn't be too hard to do a serial number lookup at http://www.musictrader.com/olds.html (which is Lars Kirmser's Music Trader site) to get a date. From what I understand, the Geyer knock-offs were fairly decent horns.

[Hornlist] Re: Horn Digest, Vol 62, Issue 20
Do a Google search for Olds Central and the first thing you see should be a site that has a lot of stuff about Olds instruments. Lots of great information there. Look for the 1957 catalog, it has the french horns in it, some of the others do too. If yours is an Ambassador, those were first made in about 1952 and continued until about 1980. Lots of cool websites out there for the history of various brands. Check out the Conn Loyalist, Contempora Corner (Reynolds), HNWhite.com. Any others? Couldn't find one for Anborg but certainly there SHOULD be one! - Steve Mumford Peter wrote: Can anyone tell me about an Olds double french horn I bought? It has four inline valves and is brass. I tried to look up the history of it and couldn't find anything on the double model.

[Hornlist] Stopped horn problem and Allergy
I have an intersting (although probably common) problem. My high school band just played an arrangement of Grieg's In the Hall of the Mountain King with a stopped horn entrance. My hand is large enough so that I cannot properly do stopped horn, I need to transpose one whole step down instead of one half step. Is there a way to get my bell throat enlarged so I can do this properly, or are there any models of horn with a larger throat than a Conn 8D? Also, I seem to be allergic to silver, as when I play I get green residue on the outside of my right hand. What can I do for this? ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
Re: [Hornlist] Stopped horn problem and Allergy
From: Tim Kecherson [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have an intersting (although probably common) problem. My high school band just played an arrangement of Grieg's In the Hall of the Mountain King with a stopped horn entrance. My hand is large enough so that I cannot properly do stopped horn, I need to transpose one whole step down instead of one half step. Is there a way to get my bell throat enlarged so I can do this properly, or are there any models of horn with a larger throat than a Conn 8D? What you really need is a teacher -- one who really plays horn -- who can work with you on stopped horn. No one has a hand so large or so small that stopped intonation would not be approximately a semitone. And if your hand were so large, the horn would be flat rather than sharp. You are probably not closing the bell sufficiently or otherwise not correctly managing the technique. The horn must be closed so tightly that there is significant back pressure when you blow. If you have access to a brass stopping mute, practice first with that and then make you hand do the same thing the stopping mute does. If you're really dedicated you could buy one on the net -- a stopping mute is not very expensive and is something you can use for years. Also, I seem to be allergic to silver, as when I play I get green residue on the outside of my right hand. What can I do for this? Why do you think this is an allergy? And why do you think there is any silver in your bell? If you stick your hand in mud and it gets muddy, does that mean you are allergic to mud? Green is a typical color of brass (actually copper) oxides. See http://chemistry.about.com/cs/demonstrations/a/aa022204a.htm Your bell is simply tarnished. Some people have wetter and more acidic sweat that will enhance tarnishing of the metal. It is generally harmless to you, and not quickly harmful to the horn (unless a historical or extremely valuable instrument). If you can obtain a chamois (a soft leather wiping cloth) and wipe the bell frequently, at least each time you put the horn away, that may help. Other than that, the only guaranteed is an expensive (re)laquering of the bell. If the bell already has a buildup of visible tarnish and crud from a previous user, a one-time gentle treatment with brass polish will probably reduce the problem, although the bell may slowly tarnish again. But probably this isn't something you need to worry about at all. ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
