Re: [Hornlist] RE: Recording
I own a H2 and love it, I have recorded many concerts, as well as audition tapes, practice and have used it for elctroacoustic composing for gathering sound sources. I find it very user friendly and provides DVD quality audio if desired, or can record in various compressed (mp3) bit rates. A great device and the ability to capture in 4 ch sound is also very handy. As for recording horns, something that is always challenging to capture, I find the mic placement paired with a mic stand and some creativity decent results (in timberal quality) are eaisly achieved My 2 cents Mathew James --Original Message-- From: wells123...@juno.com Sender: horn-bounces+hornboy101=gmail@music.memphis.edu To: horn@music.memphis.edu ReplyTo: The Horn List Subject: [Hornlist] RE: Recording Sent: Jul 31, 2009 11:40 AM I use a digital Olympus voice recorder. I bought mine at Radio Shack. The replay sound isn't the greatest, but sounds pretty good if I connect it to my stereo or use ear phones. It's adequate to help me improve certain aspects of my playing. For example, I used to have a bad habit of inhaling loudly through my nose when I'd inhale. I didn't realize how distracting it was until I heard it on a recording. I've also used it to monitor for excessive wah-wah playing. I don't care for the wah-wah sound that some horn players seem to intentionally cultivate.

Re: [Hornlist] Audition help!
I own the entire musicians cdrom, which has these excerpts omitted. My university as well does not have these books on hand. As far as my teacher she is currently away on vacation as are most of the players I know in Calgary at the moment --Original Message-- From: Ralph Hall Sender: horn-bounces+hornboy101=gmail@music.memphis.edu To: The Horn List ReplyTo: The Horn List Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Audition help! Sent: Jul 30, 2009 2:42 PM Mathew, Late I know but holidays intrude. The Shostakovitch is to be found in Orchestra Excerpts for Horn, Volume 2, International Music Company, New York. The Ravel appears in Philip Farkas's Orchestral Passages for Horn from the French Repertoire. I'm surprised that anyone going in for an audition who must be studying with an acknowledged player has not access to this sort of material, if not by himself, at least from his teacher. Milton Kicklighter is dead right; when I was in the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra it was always the unison bass clef passage that we chose to give to any aspiring candidate. Occasionally, if we suspected a stamina issue, we also asked for the fff Largamente section from the same movement. At no time, in British auditions, are the candidates notified of what to expect in the way of sight reading. In Germany it is different; the choice is always from the Ritzkowsky/Spach Test Pieces for Orchestral Auditions, Edition Peters. All the above are worth the investment. Ralph R.

Re: [Hornlist] "Dent" bags
I have been using a BAGS horn case for 2 years I switched from a produce case. I would recommend them. Sturdy and functional.

How about this one, which says it splits the difference between a gig bag and a hard case, although I couldn't find the exact weight anywhere on the web page. http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Gator-GL-Lightweight-French-Horn-Case?sku=545837 Having read what everyone has said, realizing that I will not be traveling by plane with my horn (I will fly somewhere to play only in my next life, not this one), and that I will sometimes have it in the car alongside other potentially dangerous objects like suitcases and my children, I think I'm am going to rule out a lightweight gig bag. The link above, however, looks appealing. I have emailed and asked if they could tell me exactly what it weighs. >From what I read, a gig bag about 4 lbs. and a hard case more like 14 lbs. Neither or those is a big concern because, although I'm no spring chicken, I'm plenty strong enough to carry two French Horns in hard cases under one arm for a bit if I need to, as I did just the day before yesterday. I would, however, like to protect my horn for cheap. I know, "light, cheap, strong - pick any two because you can't have all three." An engineer's expression but applicable here. If anyone actually has used Gator brand and/or the model I link to above, I'd like to know that. The other leading contender right now is a Pro Tec hard case, shown here for $160. http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Pro-Tec-Contoured-PRO-PAC-French-Horn-Case?sku=540235 This one, for whatever reason, does not seem appealing to me: http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Gator-Molded-ABS-French-Horn-Case?sku=545830 although it is less expensive than the Pro Tec. -S- On Sun, Feb 1, 2009 at 3:14 PM, Brass Arts Unlimited wrote: >>> Gig bags are actually "dent" bags.
