RE: [Hornlist] Centers Around
In my line of work there is little more frustrating than "competing standards." If something is a standard, then everyone agrees. If they are competing, then they obviously aren't standard.

[Hornlist] Worst? Bah humbug! - what's the best music you've played?
OK - now that we've thoroughly aired our gripes, let's be done with that. In a less Scroogely spirit of Christmas, what is the best music you have played? For me, it was a small Episcopal Church orchestra playing the Fauré Requiem at a Good Friday worship service. No, the horn parts weren't especially outstanding, no chance whatsoever to show off, but the music was astoundingly beautiful. That same evening, the Minnesota Orchestra was playing the same piece, so as I drove home, I heard it again on the radio. I mean no disrespect to that incredible orchestra - I routinely thank God I have the opportunity to hear them live regularly. Their performance was far more skilled than ours (though our Soprano, singing the "Pie Jesu," easily would have taken any trophies offered), but I would take the reverent silence in the church over the thunderous applause in Orchestra Hall any day. As it turns out, my 93 year old Grandfather, lying in a hospital bed, breathed his last earthly breath that evening. He died, as he lived, with the absolute certainty that he was entering "In Paradisum." I can think of no more fitting farewell. Timothy A.

RE: [Hornlist] Product Review... Thompson Cases
I would add my hearty "amen" to JRC's review of the Thompson Horn Cases. I will add that I have had mine for a couple years now - it has traveled with me to Europe, Asia, and around the U.S. and I consider it one of the best horn accessory purchases I have ever made. Its durability has proven itself, and is still looks nice. It snuggly and securely holds my Conn 8D in a compact size that I have been able to carry onto planes without any problem. It easily fits in the overhead compartment of larger planes, and with some trouble in some smaller planes. I have had a few occasions where it would not fit, and I had to exercise a bit of creative coverage (sit by the window, and get the black colored case - it hides better) so the flight attendant would not see that it did not fit entirely under the seat in front of me (those of you who can afford to travel in something other than steerage class may not have to worry about this). On one occasion I had a flight attendant place it in one of the closets they use where it rested quite comfortably for the flight. Furthermore - in buying one of his cases, you will be supporting a real treasure to the horn community. Thanks, David. Timothy A.

[Hornlist] Chisenbop Counting Measures
There is a method of counting that works slightly easier than the one you describe called "Chisenbop" (I'm not making this up) - The thumb is your 5 counter. I found the following site which describes it quite well: http://klingon.cs.iupui.edu/~aharris/chis/chis.html Timothy A.

RE: [Hornlist] Just Sliding Along, Singing A Nickel Song...
Well Scott - My Nickel Silver Conn 8d third valve slides also tend to loosen and start sliding - I have had to have them expanded twice in the last few years. Timothy A.

I have a YHR-861 that has yellow brass slides. ... I had to have the slides expanded once a year or they would fall out of the horn. ... Because of that, I would always try to get a less mallealbe metal, such as nickel silver, for the slides on my horn.
