Holton horns are tuned to A=446 with no hand
Wouldn't the politically correct, substitute for "old wives' tale" be "urban
legend" ?
Or would that be perceived as displaying bias against city-dwellers?

Yes I am lurking out there. The YHR 867 took the place of the 861. It had the
same bell throat but was heavier at the bell. This was to take some of the
edge out of the sound. The thumb spatula was also different and better, I
think. In fact, I feel that the YHR 867 was a better horn than the 86

I need some input about a situation that has developed in our community
concert band.
We are experiencing a period of significant growth, adding almost one player
per week. Currently we have 50 musicians, five of them playing horn. Our
regular horn section has been four players for some time. T

Dear Mr. Osmun,
My wife accepts the apology
Funny you mention the A=442. I played on a Holton for the longest time
(A=440) and had trouble playing in situations where I had to tune that high.
When I got my schmid it wanted to tune to A=442 or a little higher (gotta
love German pitch). And most of the tasks I have now are A440 so I'm

Rotary valves make it easier to build stacked double airways. Imagine
double horns built with piston valves -- the valves would have to be double
length to accommodate the 2 separate airways & the resulting overall
configuration of the horn might come out semi-strange. Then again, some of

I played a Yamaha 861 for ten years. It is a good, solid, reliable
Geyer copy. You can only buy it used as it is discontinued. The
replacement model is the 667V, with a few design changes. I sold my

Hornlisters:
Why do modern horns use exclusively rotary valves? Is it simply to
eliminate weight? I read with interest Dennis Brain's letter to Gordon
Grieve of 3 Feb 1953, in which Mr Brain compares his B-flat Piston Raoux

The hiss pop test is vey dangerous though. Repeated performance can
destroy the compression of your valves.
I've seen it happen. An old student I used to know always took out his slides
without depressing the valves. Eventually the continuous pops ruined the
compression.

First of all- Experience tells me that any Conn horn with 10 years of use
on it is ready for a valve rebuild. We almost never see horns that have had
consistently good maintenance, and corrosion, not wear, is what prematurely
destroys valves.
The best (and only) way to accurately determine valve
What I do is the trick you use to see if there is a leak in a bicycle tire.
Take a large bathtub and completely submerge the horn in it with the leadpipe
sticking out or some such. Then blow into it, and if you see air bubbles
creep out of any place on the horn, you know if you have air leaks :)
I'm sorry sir. I have great respect and admiration for you but I also believe

No matter what you have to say (whether its rediculous or logical, insane or
