Hi Milton, 

BTW, "Milton" is my middle name! 

Thanks for the prompt, interesting, encouraging reply. 

I guess part of my problem is remembering the days when I had 
orthodontics procedures on my mouth as a youth. First, they pulled a 
couple of teeth, installed braces which required tightening every two 
weeks, leading  to a sore mouth for  YEARS, all of which which probably 
has contributed to my irrational fears.  This happened to me in the 
1940's and I have no doubt there have been *major* changes in dentistry 
since.   Nonetheless, I never said my fear was rational! 

I really appreciate your information... 

Thanks...

Re: [Hornlist] Beethoven's Ninth

2007-03-31 Thread PLJ59
Having the first horn play the fourth horn solo in Beethoven's 9th is not 
uncommon, but I don't think that it is necessarily standard operating 
procedure. Sometimes the conductor doesn't have the confidence in the fourth 
horn player, for no good reason.

Howdy, horn list folks! 

We're playing Beethoven's Ninth in our community orchestra, and the   
conductor has asked the first horn player to play the fourth horn solo, stating 
  
that's standard operating procedure in all the big orchestras. 

Is that true? Or does he maybe just have a beef with our fourth horn  player? 

Just curious,

Does anyone know where the Holton Regency and Solist models fit in? I played

Re: [Hornlist] "Gymnopedies," arr. by Debussy

2007-01-26 Thread PLJ59
The West Suburban Chamber Orchestra (Chicago) performed Gymnopedies a couple of 
months ago. We played them exactly as marked. No.1 muted all the way through, 
and in No.2, 1st was open, 2nd was stopped. We were questioned by our conductor 
the first reading, and after a discussion with him during break, he agreed with 
us.  

It worked for us.

Hello.  I've been off-list for a few months, so please excuse me if this has 
been addressed recently. 

My community orchestra is preparing to perform two of Satie's Gymnopedies, 
as orchestrated by Debussy, and there is some confusion within the horn 
section (and on the part of the conductor) as to Debussy's intentions.  The 
sheet music has Horns I & II combined on a single page and Horns III and IV 
on another page. 

At the beginning of No. 1, the parts are marked "sourdines," with no 
subsequent marking.  We all assume that we are to be muted for the entire 
movement, which seems appropriate for the style of the music.  The confusion 
arises in No. 2.  There is no reference to "sourdines" in the printed parts. 
 There are a couple of spots where there are four consecutive accented 
dotted half-notes to be played in unison by both parts on the sheet.  These 
are marked "bouche," with the additional notation of "2o."  I believe the 
intent is for the second horn only to play stopped with a bell tone effect.   
If this is the case, should the first horn play the unison open?   
Additionally, should the other passages in this movement be muted or open?   
The conductor seems to think it should all be muted, and we will of course 
do it his way if he insists. 

If anyone has played this arrangement, I would be interested to know how 
your section handled this issue.  I would also appreciate any other 
authoritative input from the experts on this list. 

Thanks in advance.

Hello, all; first post.  I have occasionally read the 
Horn List (via my wife's account) with interest for 
years.  (We both are players in a ROPA orchestra.)  I 
have had a question that she has been unable to 
answer, and rather than have her ask it for me I 
thought it might be time to join the list myself. 

So, when I lived in NYC in the middle 1980's it seemed 
that everyone there used three horns.  They were the 
Conn 8D (L, M and N series, only, it seemed), Paxman 
and Lewis. 

Why do I seemingly NEVER hear about Lewis horns 
anymore?  Is it because I am no longer in NYC or is it 
because these instruments are not currently in vogue, 
or what?  Did they suddenly become mediocre or did he 
go out of business?  Or did "something better" just 
come along over the years.  I just never see or hear 
about them anymore and was wondering why this was. 

Thanks for any responses.  I hope that I have not just 
opened up some sort of can of worms or re-started some 
old, long-running debate . . . I am just curious.

That is so true. The big problem  with lanolin used as tuning slides is that  
the lanolin can get  washed into the valves. The valves work fine until the 
valve  oil  evaporates or gets blown through, and a film of lanolin is left

[Hornlist] Merker-Geyer H192

2003-08-24 Thread PLJ59
The Holton Merker-Geyer H192 is real. I played a prototype of the new model 
last winter at the Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic in Chicago. At that time 
Ethel and the engineer from LeBlanc-Holton were fine tuning the horn and 
working with different leadpipes. In my opinion, it is a fine horn - and before you 
get started - there is nothing wrong with Holton rotors.

[Hornlist] Kruspe?

Not to open up opinion time, but can someone help with the proper
pronunciation of Kruspe? I have heard so many variations, I don't know where
to start.

Thanks,

I can't speak for all Holton horns, but I have had no valve problems, and no
grit from assembly problems with mine. I bought my 276M new about 1-1/2 years
ago. If it were run over by a bus I would let my insurance replace it with
the same model.

But the main cause of the baby was another ..., wasn't it so ?

I think the word you are looking for is "stork", Hans.
You'll have to ask KB to verify the precise details.

Gotta go,

"Stork?" I see this turning into another my mouthpiece is better than yours thread. I 
wasn't aware that ... never mind.

###Then you turn into a "grunter." Horror of all horrors!

I sit next to a "grunter". So much that the grunts are forte, even if the afterbeats 
are pianissimo. Just another benefit of the Community Band.

Re: [Hornlist] Re: Measurements (NHR - Unless you measure your horn)

2002-11-29 Thread PLJ59
No, the question should be:

Which weighs more, a 4-1/2 pound nickle-silver Kruspe with a rose-brass bell, or a 
4-1/2 pound yellow brass Geyer?

I'm sure that it depends on which oil is used on the rotors and bearings.

There are two (maybe more?) different strengths of Locktite. Make sure you
use the one that can be loosened more easier.

Re: [Hornlist] Kruspe wrap popularity gaining?

The Kruspe vs. Geyer debate will probably continue for many years. In
addition to preference, don't forget that the "popular" style is very
regional. I play a Merker (very happily), and live near Chicago.
