[Hornlist] Horn sound projector
Please excuse the poor description but I remember having seen a round (cone shaped maybe) sound projector (correct term?) connected to something like a Manhasset stand base. You place it behind your bell to project the sound where and how you want it as it is adjustable . I have scanned the archives and can not find anything related to this, but I thought I read it here at some time or other. I have scoured the internet also and can find nothing. I know it was out there as I remember the price was around $50.00. Can anyone help with this? Thank you.

[Hornlist] Metal Reaction
Hello again. I want to thank all of you who responded, both on the list and privately, to my Metal Reaction problem, if indeed that is what it really is. I am at the point now where I am going to quit playing for several weeks, or whatever it takes to clear this up. Besides I can't play anything below middle C right now. You have given me much food for thought and many fine suggestions. You are a very compassionate group and I appreciate all of you. If you can think of anything else please email me privately. By the way, does anyone know what Wynton Marsalis's problem was that caused his lip inflammation?

[Hornlist] Metal Allergies
Hello. I hope someone can relate to this and help me out. About 4 months ago I started developing two red areas on my lower lip where the mouthpiece rests. They kept getting bigger and now are open sores. I have been using a gold plated rim for years. I switched to a delrin (plastic) rim on my metal stem and for about a week things started clearing up. Then it came back with a bang! I have been to my dentist who says that I am developing an allergy to the metal in my permanent bridgework (probably nickel) only on the outside of the gums where the cheeks are, but not on the inside of the gums . He can not explain that or the lip sores. I went to a dermatologist who did testing for nickel which turned out to be positive. However, he did not test for any other metals for some reason beyond my understanding. I am going to make an appointment with an allergist. In the meantime, I have ordered a delrin stem to go with the rim as I think my lower lip is "spilling" into the rim a bit and making contact with the metal of the stem. However, from what I've been told and researched, brass does not contain nickel so I'm thinking I'm allergic to some other metal. I am slathering vitamin E on my lips about a million times a day in order to make them less painful. Nothing else seems to help and believe me, I've been through the whole line up. Has anyone had this problem and what did you do about it? Also, has anyone ever tried a wood (ebony or some such exotic wood) mouthpiece and what did you think of it? What about stainless steel? Thanks for your help and I'm really getting desperate. I see a future of no horn playing if this keeps up and that is tragic for me.

[Hornlist] Ward Fearn
In reference to Mr. Fearn's book "Exercises for Flexible Horn Playing". My copy was printed in 1965 by Elkan-Vogel Co., Inc., Phildelphia 3, Pa. The first page states: "Modern Exercises are Fun to play and will not wear out your lip" Studies that will improve your Lower-middle range, flexibility, technique, rhythm, tone, and ear. This is not a "brag" list on his part. I love the book and swear by it, especially when my lip is tired from previous playing. You get the maximum results with no pain and the exercises are funreally!

[Hornlist] Music History
Hello. I would like to thank those who answered my question either on the list of privately. You have given me some very good suggestions that make me realize just how much I have forgotten about some of the programs/books that were offered years ago. I, myself, am looking forward to some fun time, much less my friend. Again, thank you.

[Hornlist] History of music
Hello all. I have a friend who, due to various sad reasons, has actively avoided music most of her life. She is now 64 and through our friendship she is starting to awaken to the joys of music. Not playing, just listening. Can anyone recommend a book (books) that would help her understand the whys and wherefores of music? I guess something like the history of music written for a non musician is what I'm after. Also, something included about how listening to music affects emotions. The book (books) should be on an intellectual level but not too clinical. Small order, I know! Thank you in advance for any on list and/or private answers.

[Hornlist] Christmas music
Hi. I have a non-playing, non- musical friend who is interested in the French Horn for listening only. I would like to send her some Christmas music ( CD's) featuring the horn(s). I am not thinking of sending something by the Canadian Brass or other groups because she would not be able to identify the different brass instrument sounds. I'm thinking more on the solo line and/or horn groups. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you, Karon Ismari ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
[Hornlist] Movie
Hello. Thanks to those of you who replied to my question regarding protocol of section leaders. I have missed some issues of the list due to server problems so this may be a repeat. The first (If memory serves me-i the first ones could have been the bicyclists on the bridge) person to get run over by an angry car in the movie "The Car" was a hitchhiking Horn player. Was someone trying to make a statement here? :) Karon ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
[Hornlist] protocol
Hello all. Let me throw this question at you. What are the duties and responsibilities of a section leader or 1st player? Is there any protocol to use regarding seating/solos/longevity in the section/and anything else you can come up with? How should politics be handled before going to the director? Or should politics be handled at all by the section leader? I'm talking about a union paid summer band. I know my feelings on the subjects but I don't know if my thinking is proper or in line with protocol (if it exists). Thank you for your input.

[Hornlist] Orchestra and percussion
Hello fellow list members. I have a request to make. Our Civic Symphony Orchestra needs percussion . We only get to use the college's, where we practice, for the actual concert day. It's a real eye-opener in a concert when the percussion start up with something that was not heard at any time during practices. I am starting a search for used ones. Timpani, snare, bass etc. etc. Whatever it takes . Does anyone know where I might get some of these used things at a reasonable price and in reasonable shape? I've seen the timpani on EBay so please don't recommend that. I am in Illinois but am willing to consider any point from which they could be sent. Thank you.
