Re: [Hornlist] Fw: [horn] Conn or Hoyer

2004-11-29 Thread fhornmike
I auditioned a Hoyer at  Patterson's shop.  Very responsive - great valves.  
Then I played an Elkhart and decided the edge went to the Hoyer.  Much more 
expensive, however (about $6,000)!  I bought the Patterson Custom instead with 
no regrets.

   So, I am looking to purchase my own horn, which would you all tihnk
   would be better for the buck a hans hoyer, or a Conn 8D?
  
  
  
   I tink that it isn't the buck, but the horn that you feel the most
comfortable with and
 performs the best for you when playing it.  Only YOU can be the judge
of that.

RE: [Hornlist] Gig Bags

2004-11-22 Thread fhornmike
I just bought a Patterson Custom and a Marcus Bona case to put it in.  Awesome 
case --- very compact, well made and even came with a folding music stand.  I 
can use it either with a shoulder strap or backpack straps.  The case is very 
sturdy and I feel safe with my new horn in it.  Highly recommended!

I am looking for a gig bag for my french horn and I was wondering if
anyone had some info about good gig bags.  I thought they would be
easier to haul around the colllege campus rather than the huge cases

more than anything else.

If you want the comfort and convenience of a gig bag but view the protection
of the instrument to be your primary concern, I would invite you to consider
our line of cases.  They are not the most compact bags on the market, but
our cases are designed to be durable and absolutely as protective as
possible of your valuable investment.  They can be quite comfortably carried
either over the shoulder or as a backpack.

You can find those cases described on our web site at:

and you are of course welcome to contact us privately with any questions you
may have.
