MB-6:  22 x 14 x 9 in.
MB-7:  22 x 14 x 8.5 in.
MB-7C: 20 x 14 x 8 in.
MB-8:  24 x 14 x 6.5 in.

All these cases will hold 1 straight mute and 1 stop mute and have 
modest room for music on the case itself.

The 6  7 models will hold a stand in the case.
Model 8 has some kind of zipper attachment system to attach a 
music/stand bag or suit bag (haven't seen one in the wild though).

[Hornlist] MB6, MB7 and MB8

2008-06-05 Thread joey horn guy
Does anyone know the differences between the MB6, MB7 and MB8?

Which MB case is the best for the new carry-on restrictions?

I'm trying to decide on a case, and while www.mbcases.com has descriptions for 
each model, some of the descriptions are surprisingly similar.nbsp; There 
doesn't seem to be any information on how they differ.

Thanks

I was really glad to hear Hans comment on changing tone color.  It IS 
extremely rare in modern wind playing in general and brass playing in 
particular to hear people talk of changing colors.  There are (fewer now 
than formerly) different tone-colors out there, but each school
seems 
to be aiming for one basic sound.  String players (especially chamber 
musicians) think a lot about color and changing it, and can see with 
there eyes how changing the distance from the bridge changes the tone 
color, etc., etc.

By changing the mouthspace (vowel), and the air/volume/speed/pressure 
recipe for a given note, horn tone can also be extremely flexible,
and 
should be changed to suit the composer/work in question, i.e. Bruckner 
WAY different than Rossini:)  Sort of stacking the deck there, but also 
there is a lot of musical value to changing color within a phrase or 
even on a long note the way a fine singer would.  Think of all of the 
different vowel shadings there are in vocalization; and while on the 
topic, why shouldn't we horn players make the full palette of 
consonants, voiced and unvoiced, an integral part of our articulation?
