Every time this subject comes up I wonder about the symantics. Is it venturi or ventura?

I'd like more specifics. Val Okay, I got the message. :) I used to have a full description of all the work I did on that H179 on my webpage but it seems to have disappeared. It was manufactured in 1975 according to the serial number, which seems right since that's when my parents bought it for me. It got a valve job, a Lawson leadpipe, and I cut the bell myself before taking it to the Banff workshop in 1998. I mentioned to Val that all the Merkers I tried felt as familiar as my trusty old H179. I've been very happy with my Merker Millenium for the last 7 years.

As an international consumer, I will add my endorsement for using postal services. Canada Customs collects taxes on items shipped here but no duty regardless of carrier. The carrier also charges a brokerage fee. Canada Post charges a flat $5 fee. UPS and other couriers charge a minimum $35 which is then indexed to the value of the contents. This can often equal or even exceed the cost of the item. I chose long ago not make purchases from venders who ship UPS only.

This can be done since Holtons use an auxillary Bb tuning slide. I used it last season for La Gazza Ladra and The Barber of Seville on the same program. This arrangement has the benefit that the F side remains unchanged for use in non-transposed sections and as a familiar starting place for other transpositions.

I wrote an article for the Ontario Band Association newsletter a few years ago which I won't bother to quote here. Suffice to say that the point to playing in tune is listening and adjusting all the time. Several comments have shown that one has to be willing to sacrifice one's own correctness for the sake of the ensemble. There's no point in being the only performer who's perfectly in tune with an electronic tuner if you're not in an electronic tuner ensemble.

Mine has experienced two years of intermittent practise, thrice weekly community group rehearsals (2 bands, 1 orchestra) and various occaisional sub jobs. I haven't done anything special or custom to the valves (yet) and they are tight and smooth as the day I bought it. I played the same 179 for over 25 years which had a great deal of work done to it. Lawson leadpipe and nickel plated valves were the major part. I had several (Elkhart) 8D owners offer a straight trade for the horn over the years. I'm not suggesting it took all that work to just to equal a vintage 8D, more that it was just a good horn. It can happen, even with Holtons. I held on to the 179 for a year after buying the MM but sold it last winter with very few regrets. I'm happy with the new horn and my old friend is starting a second life serving a deserving young student. I am considering a light nickel plating on the rotors while they are still tight in the hope of keeping them that way a little longer.

[Hornlist] Women of Brass
This afternoon I attended a concert entitled "Women of Brass" presented by the Hannaford Street Silver Band of Toronto, Ontario (Canada). HSSB is Canada's premiere British-style Brass Band. Joan Watson, principal horn with the Canadian Opera Company and member of the True North Brass Quintet gave a wonderful performance of Richard Strauss' Concerto for Horn No.1, op. 11. The sound of a professional brass band accompanying this solo is one I will not soon forget. Also on the program was a performance of Hummel's Trumpet Concerto by Karen Donnelly and Duet from Lakme featuring both women. Those of you on the list who have mentioned listening to CBC radio may want to keep an ear peeled for excerpts from this performance which was recorded for broadcast.
