Re: [Hornlist] lead / lead
Well, at least some brits call it a leaderpipe. I heard Merewether call it that a lot, but then wasn't he from Australia? I think he also used the term in his book.

Herb F opined Aw, c'mon. I've heard jigs played on pipes where you just couldn't keep your feet still, wanting to dance. The French horn is the most beautiful instrument, but it doesn't do that. ** Of course not, H**b, most horns lack feet, making it difficult for them to dance, and those that DO have feet typically have only one, purloined from some hapless duck.

RE: [Hornlist] lead / lead
You must have a kinship for an American author of the mid 20th Century, H. Allen Smith He often wrote the definition of a gentleman was "someone who could play the bagpipes, but didn't." Of course his opinions are subject to question because he also was an advocate of putting beans in chili. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2008 5:11 AM To: horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: Re: [Hornlist] lead / lead In a message dated 02/02/2008 21:48:58 GMT Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: "or as the Brits do, they call it a leader pipe" I've never heard it called that over here - we usually call it a mouthpipe (as opposed to a bagpipe - and let's face it, everybody's opposed to the bagpipe) Cheers, Lawrence lawrenceyates.co.uk ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/bgross%40airmail.net ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

Well, one solution would be to use the alternative word "mouthpipe," leaving the word "lead" to describe the soft, heavy, inelastic, malleable, ductile, bluish-grey (or gray) metallic element designated Pb in the fourth group of the periodic table. The confusion between "a leadpipe" and "a lead pipe" is peculiar to the English language, I guess.

RE: [Hornlist] lead / lead
I just took a peek at m-w.com for the etymology of lead (either) to see if that would help us out any with a quaintly archaic, yet correct, spelling. Unfortunately, to confuse matters, the element lead comes from middle English "leed," which would likely be mispronounced to sound like the other "lead." So, when referring to lead in the context of a horn, I'll always use either "plumbum" or "non-RoHS compliant" so as not to confuse anyone. So as not to look silly, I will go one step further and never put myself in the situation to have to make such references.

That reminds me (very little) of when
I bought a wooden whistle,
But it wooden whistle.
So I bought a lead whistle,
But it wooden lead me whistle.
So I bought a steel whistle,
But it steel wooden lead me whistle.
So I bought a tin whistle,
And now I tin whistle!

Re: [Hornlist] lead / lead
One solution is to call it a leadpipe; or as the Brits do, they call it a leader pipe and you can reserve lead (led) for the word by itself.
