Yamaha - was [Hornlist] wherefrom Paxmaha?
Well then, this would be an ideal time to start a Yamaha thread. Who plays what kind of Yamaha on this list? I know there have been some individuals on this or the other list who worked with Yamaha during various stages of horn model development in the past. Any comments from them? Do people have a favorite Yamaha? The worst Yamaha? What about the new Yamahas? My Yamaha started out as a relatively early (circa 1982) 668. I've had the bell cut (with Alexander rings) and a Patterson leadpipe. Otherwise stock. It's gradually become my main horn as I've come to terms with its weaknesses and strengths (and mine).

-Original Message- From: Richard V. West [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Well then, this would be an ideal time to start a Yamaha thread. Who plays what kind of Yamaha on this list?

Do people have a favorite Yamaha? The worst Yamaha? What about the new Yamahas? We own a Yamaha 666 (predecessor to the 668, made from roughly 1980-85) that's a lovely horn in, IMHO, the 8D tradition. I played it for a while, now it's my son's main horn, and I suspect it will come back to me sooner or later. We owned a 667 for a while, manufactured in 1991, that's in the small/medium bell horn tradition. A pleasant enough horn for what it is, to be sure, and sounds lovely in the right hands, but I had occassion to borrow an Alex 103 a few month after acquiring the 667, and that was the end of my playing the 667. (I eventually settled on an Alex Bb single with a C trigger as my main horn.) -S- ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
