No matter what your age, I highly recommend two of Anna Russel's CDs. One has
The Horn quoted here. Very funny. Another CD has the complete Ring cycle done
in 5 minutes, accurately. Don't listen to it the first time while you're
driving, you might lose control.

Listening to my copy of the Beethoven Eroica, it appears that more than
one horn is playing the passage at measure 383 (rehearsal letter F) of
the last movement. Is this customary that all three horns play this?.
Do orchestras frequently use an assistant horn in performing the Eroica?

Amen. And if you can get the video it's even funnier because you can see
what she is doing.

Well, guess what: the brother of Ion Balu came into rehearsal last
night (Arkansas Symphony) with both a cone mute and a practice
mute. Talk about timing! Apparently the straight cone-shaped
mute is running $100, and the practice mute about $75. I brought
them home last night to test out.
But I'll bet nothing can beat my old Jo Ral copper mute for extreme weight.
I only keep it now to loan to students when they have 'emergencies.' Mine
would NEVER quite play low E-Flat and D without pulling it out an inch or
two. Anyway, it was so heavy, having it inadvertently swing into your bell
Bob laments, Now I play some brand (dunno...it is not marked; picked
it up for $100 at the Kalamazoo workshop) of very light, extremely long
cone-shaped thin walled wooden mute. Really nice sound, plays all the
notes across the range. Wish I remembered what the maker was...
Bob, I think you have

That's what I think, too. John was at KZoo, too.
I have one of his mutes and it's great. It goes well with my Jo-Ral, which
I use as well.

I think it is quite common. I once played it in a performance in which the
conductor used an assistant on each horn part in order to have six horns play

On recommendation of several list members, I have started using Ultra-Pure
lamp oil to lubricate the rotor valve bearings (top bottom).
This lamp oil is 99% pure liquid wax paraffin (highly purified kerosene)
and really is odorless, and does not leave a taste. The valves work very
well at
Jim,
I played a 10D from 1996-2001 after playing on a Hoyer for 23 years. Had
played the Hoyer since college, which I sensed was very muffled. The 10D
had a clearer sound. A couple of years ago on the 10D I reached the point
where I felt I wasn't being heard very well, especially when I had
All, In over my head with responsibilities et al is reason I've been
lurking. Catching up on recent threads. W/respect to playing in COLD TEMPS.
Have been using Hetman lubes for almost a decade. Seems temperature affects
their performance much less than other lubes. Had access to aerospace
The repair shop I worked in for years used Ultra Pure Lamp Oil as valve/rotor
oil on all brass instruments. It doesn't react with other oils that may
already be on the rotor or piston, and therefore doesn't gum up.
Great stuff.
(I use Hetman on my horn, though. I LOVE that stuff.)

OK, OK,
For several months now, I have been following hornlist affairs from afar
and found myself, for some reason, with little to add to anything and when
I did occasionally think of something to say, I'd be swamped with NHR
business (new job, family, etc.) and never get around to formulating a
I would imagine some orchestras use an assistant. I really don't remember
whether we did or not. The third horn can be used some of the time to help
the 1st. We doubled the 3rd part some in the last movement. I don't have a
score so can't answer your question. Have fun.
