[Hornlist] rotor bumpers
One of my private students is using a horn recently serviced by our school's instrument lease outfit. During the lesson, one of the recently replaced rotor stops fell out. I thought it was customary to superglue neoprene rotor stops into the cup. (The last guy to work on my 20L glued them.) The shop who fixed it doesn't think so. Who's right? Mark J.

[Hornlist] solo of your choice
When auditioning for an orchestra, virtually everyone asks for a solo of your choice. However, are most audition committees expecting to hear either the first movements of Mozart #2 or #4, or Strauus #1 or #2? Are the other staples of the literature (En Foret, Saint Saens Concertpiece, Adagio Allegro) appropriate for an orchestra audition? Mark J.

[Hornlist] re; beginner equipment
Rory and all, I'm an elementary instrumental music teacher in PA. I've considered buying single Bb horns. I know of no one else who uses them, but I see obvious advantages and realities; 1. Two less open notes between C and C!!! 2. A little fuller sound 3. Lighter!!! 4. I know that the best fingerings for the double horn are not all on the Bb side. The reality is that every kid who starts on a single F horn has to relearn some fingerings. If he/she starts on a Bb, it comes out even, right? I'd be curious to know what any of you do at the beginner level. Mark J.

[Hornlist] solo collections
I am commonly called to solo in church, and need some recommendations for solo collections w/piano accompaniment. I have the Solos for the Horn Player by Mason Jones, and Master Solos... By Stoudt. Can any of you recommend anything else? Mark Syslo ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

Does anyone have the CD Christmas Favourites with Four Horns? Good arrangements, or same old songs served up bland? Mark J. Syslo ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
[Hornlist] son bouche in Elegie
Poulenc says son bouche at #17 in Elegie. Am I to assume that from #17 to the end of the piece is stopped? If not, where does it change back to open? Mark J. Syslo ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
[Hornlist] Son Bouche
In Poulenc's Elegie, he prescribes surtout sand presser (son bouche) at #17. I have the first part, what does son bouche mean? Mark J. Syslo ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
[Hornlist] re; mouthpieces
Instead of buying a mouthpiece to play perfectly on every note of your horn, you may consider making the best of what mouthpieces you have. No mouthpiece is perfect, though a good one is a help. I haven't played a Schilke mouthpiece in years, but hindsight being 20/20, it suited my needs then, and would still suit my needs now, perhaps $300 down the road and a cigar box of mouthpieces I don't use. I do happen to play on a Moosewood mouthpiece right now, and I highly recommend them. I don't change mouthpieces depending on what I'm playing; I change me depending on what I'm playing. Mark J.
