Dear Kendall,
I have never had an opportunity of trying a Lawson, ad unfortunately I
can't cross the ocean right now. I have a question, though. I
understand, from various sources, that Lawson horns are mainly
designed to yield the "big American sound". Is it true? Or, do you
produce different models, some of them suited for (say) a German type
of sound? Do you think a Lawson horn could be played in the Berliner
Philharmoniker?
(Yes, I know: "it's the player, not the horn"--I apologize if my
question is too "equipment-minded"...)

Dear Horn Listers:
Please allow me this opportunity to invite those of you attending the NEHW
at Ithaca College this weekend to visit the Lawson Horns / Kendall Betts Horn
Camp exhibits in room 3304 in the Whalen Center.
I will have the full inventory of Lawson demonstration models, mouthpieces,
lead-pipes, and bell flares on display and available for testing. I have
extensive stock of all mouthpiece cups and rims and will offer them at a
discount for workshop attendees. Any order for a lead-pipe or bell
flare made there
will receive a discount as well. I also will have a used Lawson Model 8211
Descant for sale. This horn is owned by noted NY free-lancer, Bobby Routch,
and is in "as new" condition. Here is an opportunity to purchase a fine
instrument without a wait for delivery next year.
I will also have information on KBHC. I welcome your visit and I will be
happy to answer any questions you might have regarding Lawson Horns, KBHC and
horn lore in general.
All that said, this looks to be a stellar workshop with headliners Gail
Williams, Adam Unsworth and the American Horn Quartet.
I hope to see you in Ithaca!
Sincerely,
Kendall Betts
