Re: [Hornlist] Horn Solos with winds
I can heartily recommend Randall Faust's Concerto for Horn and Wind Ensemble. Any of the movements can be done separately. Available at Faustmusic.com. The final Rondo (ala Mozart) is a crowd pleaser! Andy Harris ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

You might look up Dr. Gary Moege, at the University of Central Missour. His dissertation was on mutes, and he would probably have additional cogent information.

RE: [Hornlist] Re: transposing
Another note(sorry about the pun...)on transposed vs. non-transposed parts as it ties to horn writing in the classical genre: If you work in the original keys, even (gasp) using some hand horn technique, you may discover some incredible genius in the part writing becomes apparent. Try the Beethoven 3 excerpt (in F) that finishes with the crescendo to the subito piano high Ab (do, mi, do, sol, do, mi, sol, sol, sol, sol, sol, La(b)) on the modern horn w/normal fingering. A little dangerous? Now try it all on horn in F and gently stop the Ab with a nice legato tongue. Absolutely perfect writing, and it would be so in ANY natural horn key. This one just happens to be in F. If you want absolute security during the performance, using your normal fingerings, but switch to the F side during the g's, use the hand horn technique to finish. If you live and die by transposed parts you can never pick up that bit of information.

RE: [Hornlist] RE: Horn Digest, Vol 43, Issue 22
I'm not certain about the Omaha side of the state, but the eastern side of Iowa has a true craftsman available for more than reasonable rates. I highly recommend Merlin Grady, Grady Instrument Service, in Waterloo, IA. Merlin is not a horn specialist, but is probably one of the top trombone repair techs in the world. He is a real hidden treasure. Like any of our top line horn repair people, however, he will not let an instrument out of the shop until he has everything working the way it should. Merlin uses an ultrasonic cleaning machine, (16 transducers operating at 60K cycles, I've seen clouds of red rouge come out of brand new, supposedly clean instruments), all slides, rotors, etc. will be cleaned and trued as needed. He doesn't run the cleaner everyday, so you should call him before you take the instrument up. Normally it will be same day or two day service, depending on the workload at the shop. Cost will be around $100, depending on the amount of other repair/dent work to be done. I've had Merlin work on my vintage Kruspe for over 11 years now, and have had superior service from him.

I've gone through a lot of eBay horns and I always get a money back agreement if the horn is wrecked. Home handymen usually limit themselves to applying a pound of plumbers lead to fix a loose brace. The worst damage, by far, is done by people who are operating as repairmen. I can understand the reasoning behind warning people to refrain from working on their own instruments, but it is the same horror story the incompetent repairmen repeat. Every chance I get, I instruct players how to take their rotors apart for cleaning out a valve sticker. For some reason, that bit of knowledge seems to give them better judgment about finding good repair techs. It also may help that I leave them with the names. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: horn@music.memphis.edu Sent: Tue, 18 Jul 2006 2:43 PM Subject: [Hornlist] RE: Horn Digest, Vol 43, Issue 22 of course the problem is that the biggest damage-doers (wow, sounds like W there) never recognize themselves.

RE: [Hornlist] Red Rot - Oil the Bore!!
Hi all, Just to throw a monkey wrench into the machine... What if you use a synthetic lubricant on your valves? You shouldn't (I'm told by other techs) mix the petroleum distillates with the synthetics unless you like your valves to be gummy. Would you suggest oiling the bore with a synthetic oil as instead? In the instance of someone who uses alisysn oil, that would require a couple of full bottles of lubricant. This could add a bit of cost to standard horn maintenance for some players.
