Re: [Hornlist] Horns that stand in F or Bb
I bought an alex from the factory a couple of years ago and they set them up standing in Bb by default unless you ask them for F. Everyone I know in Ireland uses F though.

RE: [Hornlist] Horn Bathing/Valve Cleaning
Hi all, I know this has been discussed many (many!!) times but I'd really like to be able to remove and clean my own rotors. However, I've never met anyone here in Ireland able or willing to show me how... It's a very small repair market here and I can understand (but not like) their reluctance to share their techniques. So the question is, is there any web or written description of exactly what should or shouldn't be done when removing and reassembling rotors? I do have an older horn that needs a valve cleaning before I sell it so I can practice on that and if I have any problems I won't have lost any money if I then need a repairman to fix my mistakes!

RE: [Hornlist] Cold Sores
Hi, I'm another cold-sore sufferer and a microbiologist too... The only thing that will definitely work is the antiviral drug acyclovir (sold in Ireland and probably elsewhere as "Zovirax" cream) If you catch a cold-sore early this can prevent a blister forming and will speed up the healing anyway. Unfortunately now that you've had one you will more than likely have periodic reoccurrences so it'd be a good idea to buy some Zovirax anyway and use it if you ever get any strange tingling/swelling in your lip in future. As for playing, it's very important not to break the skin when you have a cold-sore because it then takes MUCH longer to heal. If the blister has already split then all you can do is try to avoid irritating it more and wait for it to heal. But please be very conscious of the fact that the virus which causes cold-sores is highly contagious so don't let anyone else touch your mouthpiece/glass/cup/towel etc. and remember that the virus can infect other parts of your own body as well so try not to touch it with your fingers and wash your hands well if you do! Sorry if that's not particularly cheerful advice but cold-sores do get a lot easier to deal with after a while and it is possible that you may be one of the lucky few who never have a reoccurrence.

[Hornlist] Teaching a beginner
Hi all, I'm looking for some advice from some of the experienced teachers on the list. Last year I started teaching horn in a local community band which is trying to change over to a school of music type format. They had no real teachers as such until a few years ago and I'm the first horn player they've had on staff. Most of last year was spent working with the existing horn students, fixing problems with their technique mainly... It was great fun and very rewarding to see their rapid improvement. Now, however, I'll be getting some absolute beginners to teach. My teaching experience to date has mainly been with older students that have been passed on to me by my old horn teacher and I have no experience at all with young beginners so if anyone could offer any advice as to teaching beginners or point me to any books that specifically deal with this it'd be much appreciated... any advice at all would be welcome...

RE: [Hornlist] Valve Cleaning Class
Thanks Paul. What I had in mind was using the alcohol after a regular detergent rinse of the horn to remove any residual moisture (and/or grease) before re-oiling the valves. I should probably point out that I'm a microbiologist (when I'm not playing that is) and the alcohol I use in work is ultra-high grade ethanol that I use routinely for sterilizing surfaces (a tragic waste in my opinion, but the smell is gorgeous... unless you're hung-over of course) and for DNA work. It's fantastic for removing residual water but I'd never considered using it in my horn. I probably won't try it on my alex but I have an old Yamaha that I'm hoping to sell in a while the valves really aren't very good (a common problem on Yamahas I've tried) so if I can't get them working any smoother myself I'll probably have to get them cleaned professionally (costs over €100 here in Dublin!)... I'll try anything provided it won't harm the valves. Anyway thanks again... Robert A friend will help you move, a good friend will help you move a body.

[Hornlist] tarnish patch on new Alex
Hi all, Just looking for a little advice. I recently bought an Alex 103 direct from Alex. When it arrived last week there was an oval ring of discoloured brass adjacent to the valves. It started off black and faded to pink over a few days (isn't oxidised nickel pink??). Then I was away for a few days and when I returned a larger blackish ring had appeared around the first. I've sent Alex some photos but haven't heard back from them yet. So the question is does anyone know what this is, why it's happening and is it likely to go away?? I've got pictures if anyone in interested. Anyway, thanks for any help. Robert And remember... a friend will help you move, a good friend will help you move a body.

RE: [Hornlist] Cold sores and the like
Hi, Do you normally get coldsores?? If its a coldsore (lasting 6 weeks though?!?) then treatment with acyclovir will get rid of it in a few days (brand name is zovirax here and probably in UK too)... That's the only thing that will treat a coldsore, so it's useful to have anyway if you ever get coldsores. However, it sounds more like a fungal infection you've got often cause dry, raw patches on the skin and easily treated (and easy to get one when you're in a dusty environment) so maybe get yourself to a doctor or try one of the over-the-counter antifungal creams (your pharmacist should be able to give some advice).

I've had a patch of dry skin on my top lip a bit like a cold sore for the last 6 weeks or so now, and it's not showing any signs of going. It started when I was rushing about moving house in the very hot weather and I was sweating a lot (eurgh!). Despite regular application of lipsyl and blisteze it's not shifting at all. It varies between looking a bit red and being very dry with flakes of dead skin. It can be very painful to play on, and because of the dry skin I've lost some sensation in it. Fortunately it's not in the centre of my lip, it's to one side, so I can keep playing. It is very painful though, and affects my stamina.

RE: [Hornlist] Off-center mouthpiece placement
I do pretty much the same thing. In my case it's caused by the shape of my two front teeth which aren't completely straight. It doesn't seem to cause me any obvious problems but I'm only an enthusiastic amateur not a pro. However, I have noticed that over a period of months I play gradually more off-centre if I don't think about it and that has caused problems in my playing before; primarily in tuning but also in range and control in high registers. I know a trumpet player who had a similar but more severe problem. It took him well over a year to straighten his embouchure and he still isn't as confident in his playing now. So it might not be a bad idea to fix it now while you're getting back in shape rather than later when it may be a problem.

You know, I've never named any of my horns. Nor do I know many people who
do, or at least have ever refered to their horns by name in my presence.
I do name my computers however. There's Cosmo, and Budsy, and Betsy, and
God, and Kiwi, but God is usually offline.
The next question is if you don't have a name for your horn, what WOULD you
name it? For me, it would have to be 'Fred'. Chummy, dependable Fred.

RE: [Hornlist] Different bell question
On a slightly related note... has anyone ever tried using spray-on teflon lubricant for bell threads or any other part of the horn?? I've used it on very finely machined bike parts but haven't chanced it on my horn yet... any thoughts?? Robert Robert Fagan, Moyne Institute, Trinity College, D.2, Ireland. -Original Message- We have found that the best lubrication for bell rings is graphite. Take a soft lead pencil and scratch it across the threads on the bell flare 15 or 20 times. This should keep the noise down and will lubricate the ring without it picking up dirt and dust which will eventuallly cause wear on the threads.

[Hornlist] Alex/Brasil gig-bags
Hi all, I'm buying an Alex 103 with a detachable bell and was looking at the gig-bags that alex sell. They sell the brilliant "Brasil" fibreglass case (is that a Marcus Bono bag??) and have recently started selling a very similar case that they make themselves. I was just wondering if anyone has bought or seen one of the Alex cases and can tell me how they compare to the Brasil version. They look very similar in photos but the Alex one is considerably cheaper. Thanks for any info. Robert And remember... a friend will help you move, a good friend will help you move a body.
