[Hornlist] appraisal help - thank you!!
Thanks so much for all your help! I spoke with Paul Navarro, who has very generously agreed to help me. My horn should be covered in the very near future - hooray! I learned quite a bit about valuing (is that a word?) horns - thanks again. Jill in Seattle (p.s. - a few of you mentioned putting the horn on my homeowner's or renter's insurance. I had a rider for a few years that way, and it was indeed very cheap. However, when I moved and we revisited my policies, it turns out because I play for a living, my horn wouldn't have been covered; I needed a different policy that was MUCH more expensive. So Clarion turned out to be significantly less expensive than USAA. Just FYI for all you who make a living playing the horn but don't have orchestras covering your instruments...) ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
[Hornlist] help with appraisal
Hi all - I'm wondering if anyone can offer some advice for me: I need to get my horn insured - a recent rash a break-ins in the neighborhood is making me feel kinda nervous about letting my horn go uninsured this long. Clarion wants an appraisal or a comp before they will insure it. Here's the tricky part: I play a Lechniuk, of which there are only 20-something ever made and they never come up for sale, and a lot of people (esp. here on the West Coast) have never heard of them. So getting a comp or an appraisal is proving very difficult. Any thoughts? Suggestions? Ideas of who to get in touch with that might be willing to provide me with a number? It doesn't have to be a formal appraisal, just a number I can show them. I REALLY appreciate any help y'all can offer... Thanks!!

[Hornlist] Carter Concerto
Really? A major American composer writes a new piece for our instrument (which isn't exactly swimming in concerto repertoire) and we aren't interested in hearing about the piece, the premiere, the performance? I, for one, would love hear about someone's impressions of hearing Jamie play the new Carter piece. Great player, great orchestra, great hall, significant composer... anyone?___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

[Hornlist] Salzburg
Hi all - I may be going to Salzburg for a few weeks in August to play in a little opera orchestra, if the financial gods smile kindly on me while I look for a plane ticket that doesn't require me to take out a loan. To make it more worth my while, I thought I would try to take a lesson there, and maybe get some work done on my horn. Can anyone suggest a few names? I will (hopefully) be there from Aug. 3-19. I appreciate your answers! Jill Portland, OR___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
[Hornlist] Re: Abdominal Surgery
I remember one of my teachers had a small book of embouchure isometrics that might be useful to you. It had various isolating exercises that pertained to the formation of the embouchure: pull your corners is tight for 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15, whatever is appropriate for you, rest, repeat. Then purse your lips for X seconds, do several reps, etc. I remember one of the exercises was to hold a pencil between your lips both horizontally and then vertically, so you've just got the eraser touching your lips. I'm sure there were more, but it was a while ago, and I'm sure you could just make up some more along those lines. I also remember Dale Clevenger's wife, Alice Render, saying that when she and her husband were on long flights, they would often make horn faces behind their books. :) Best of luck with your recovery!

I know that even thinking of buzzing on a mouthpiece will be out of the question for most of that period. I would, however, like to try to maintain some of the muscle tone of my embouchure. Any suggestions? Feel free to email me off list.

[Hornlist] Synesthesia
Synesthesia is when two of your senses are linked up - in Sibelius' case, sound and color. So when he heard specific pitches, he associated them with specific colors. I knew a horn player that had it with letters and color.
