[Hornlist] Alex 103 copy
All, I tried the Durk D3 at Southeast, which is the Alex 103 copy. It really surprised me, in its evenness of tone and intonation, as well as overall response. It sells for a lower price-point, making it easier for anyone to pick up an Alex in troubled economic times. I would definitely recommend that people try the Durk before committing to an Alex.

[Hornlist] Alex 103 tweaks
However, I believe (but on only scanty evidence) that from time to time the construction and design have been tweaked. One part that is different over the years is the bell. I have a personal fondness for the sound of the Alexanders (50s and early 60s, I believe, but I could be wrong) that have a gussetted bell. I believe (again, I could be wrong) the German term is mit zwickel. They are easily identified as having a Y shaped bell seam. There's just something about those bells that I don't hear in any other bell, and I think the 103's with those bells are the best sounding 103's. Just my opinion. -- Regards, Dave Weiner Brass Arts Unlimited ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
Re: [Hornlist] Alex 103 copy
I also tried a Durk copy of the Alex 103. The only I didn't like was the lever on the change valve. For me, it was uncomfortable. By the way Brent, please give Ray Hankins my best regards.

[Hornlist] FS: Alexander Stop Mute
Pardon the double post! I'm selling a used Alexander stopping mute and I wanted to post to the lists before eBay. It has a few dings in the corpus, the cork is in great shape as is the lacquer and this mute is LOUD. This mute retails for about $340 from Osmun, I'm asking $215 or best offer including domestic shipping. Feel free to contact me offlist for pictures or more info. I do kindly ask you that you remove [horn] or [hornlist] from the email so it gets to the right folder in my overflowing mailbox.

[Hornlist] North East Horn Workshop
Dear Horn Listers: Please allow me this opportunity to invite those of you attending the NEHW at Ithaca College this weekend to visit the Lawson Horns / Kendall Betts Horn Camp exhibits in room 3304 in the Whalen Center. I will have the full inventory of Lawson demonstration models, mouthpieces, lead-pipes, and bell flares on display and available for testing. I have extensive stock of all mouthpiece cups and rims and will offer them at a discount for workshop attendees. Any order for a lead-pipe or bell flare made there will receive a discount as well. I also will have a used Lawson Model 8211 Descant for sale. This horn is owned by noted NY free-lancer, Bobby Routch, and is in as new condition. Here is an opportunity to purchase a fine instrument without a wait for delivery next year. I will also have information on KBHC. I welcome your visit and I will be happy to answer any questions you might have regarding Lawson Horns, KBHC and horn lore in general. All that said, this looks to be a stellar workshop with headliners Gail Williams, Adam Unsworth and the American Horn Quartet. I hope to see you in Ithaca! Sincerely, Kendall Betts **Need a job?
