Hi, Years ago. I started playing horn on a old Bb-horn with a stopping valve. So stopping was, especially with a stopping mute, relative easy. After a while I changed to a double horn. This horn, as for most double, does not have a stopping valve. Besides, transposing, the F-horn has to be used which is more difficult deping on the register you play.
So for some years I had the idea of developing a non-transponing stopping mute that can be used on both the F and Bb side of the my horn without transposing. It stayed with this idea, did not make time for realizing it. But in the last number of Brass Bulletin I read that a Japanese manufacturer is offering a non-transposing stopping mute. What I would like to know what do other horn players think of using an non-transposing stopping mute ? With kind regards, Ger Otten _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
