Hi Ben, I'm currently doing three weeks of "Secret Garden". Don't worry about this one ... it's "sight-readable" but it does have lots of #'s and b's. BTW, it's beautiful music and a great story.

[Hornlist] Horn parts for Secret Garden Opera and Sondheim Funny thing HOTWTH Forum
Hello Fellow list members, I am performing the solo horn parts/books for the North Dakota State productions this spring for both the Opera and Musical programs. If anyone has experience performing either of these 2 works or knows how I can get a hold of the horn books/parts for these I would really appreciate knowing. Again, the opera is the "Secret Garden" and the musical is Sondheims - A Funny thing happened on the way to the Forum. Cheers to all!

The brace on the F slide broke the soldering, but my camera doesn't have the resolution to show you.

Re: [Hornlist] Horn Parts
I think part of the problem may be that that is NOT a 3rd-valve Bb slide on for a Conn 8D of any vintage. It is certainly a replacement, and probably from an Olds horn if I had to guess. It might be worth trying to find an 8D slide and see if that solves the problem.

The problem with your F side slide is a very common one, and is usually caused by 2 factors: constantly pulling the slide at an odd angle, and leaning forward over your horn to access the music on the stand. This can usually be remedied with proper application of heat and pressure. It's not a difficult fix. The Bb slide should be either modified or replaced. It's not likely the cost to fix this is more than it's worth, especially if you like the horn otherwise. -- Regards, Dave Weiner Brass Arts Unlimited ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
Re: [Hornlist] Horn Parts
I had a simular problem with the third valve slide on the Bb side of my Conn 8D. I purchased it from a pawn shop about fifteen years ago for a song and a dance. Valve slides were sticking, a string was broken, and the cosmetic condition was terrible. At that time I didn't what Conn 8D Constellation was, I just wanted to play a horn. (This was a series L horn.) Needless to say, I spent many hours dissembling slides, rotors, corks, strings, removing corrosion etc. To fix the problem slide I grasped the valve section with one hand and the part of bell showing scrape marks with the other hand and gently pulled and tested. When that didn't work I tried again with more force. I tried several more times, each time gently increasing force until the slide pulled freely. I took a chance and won. If there had been a loose strut or solder I might have cause more damage. My music teacher thought that some school kid had placed a book or too much music in the case.

Re: [Hornlist] Horn Parts
Tim--if you like the horn, take it to a competent repair person, have them cut a small part off the lower leg of that slide (put the cut off part back in the slide tube), and there you go. If the repair person is not familiar with this, find another one! They should be able to fix you up with a matching slide also.

There are lots of Theatre Orchestra arrangements out there with only two horn parts. Many are adaptations from originals with four parts.
