Hi,
I am looking for advice.. Here is the problem. I had surgery in August of last year
to repair my deviated septum.. I had 75 % blockage in one nostril. My doc assured me
it would not effect my playing. Well, here I am to say it has. I feel like I have to
learn to play all over again.
While I agree with you on most points, I have to say something about
band music:
There are also bands, playing REAL music, even transcriptions of Verdi
(not just triumph march from AIDA), Puccini (not just Turandot), Wagner
(not just the loud things). Few of them play Ouvertures from the 19th
cent
Thank you very much for your answer. Your student must go forward very
fast "to fight for my job" as I will retire in five years. And my
birthday ? It is today, no joking. Your letter came as a nice
gratulation already. Thank you & PROSIT !
Greetings

Greetings all,
I know that there are many younger folks who are looking for horns but don't
have too many euros/dollars whatever in the bank. I was checking out eBay
tonight and I see that someone has a Mirafone Double Horn Kruspe/Horner
style horn for sale and the asking price is $1100.00 in the
Hi all,
I was just browsing through the horn digest while listening to CBC radio
from Windsor, Ontario and a delightful little piece by Malcolm Forsythe just
came on. It featured Carol Labelle on the solo horn part and had an
accompaniment of woodwinds. A cheery piece with a few Brahms "qu

So many tend to forget that the horn is a "colour instrument" and our sound
is most often meant to enrich that which is going on around us. As I listen

Let us talk about the truth now. You have "penetrating" problems &
problems to be heard over the band or over the orchestra.
Have you really said such nonsense ? Really ?
Did you ever understand the function of the horn ? My answer is:
DEFINITELY NOT. The horns & the complete horn sections functi

Hello Graham,
Yes it is quite normal for the horn in an orchestra or pit situation to
have the mic directly in the bell. If you look on the stage at Chicago
or NY or probably anywhere that has solo mic's you will see the same
thing. Depending on the mic this is fine as one will get the best

This is not an unusual problem. I have had this problem and I'm told
that many horn players have similar problems with at least some of the
notes in the range to which you refer. In my case I do three exercises
as part of my daily warmup to overcome this and, as a result, most
people don't know

I'm pretty sure this is a result of overpracticing, but I'm not sure how to
fix it: I'm having trouble articulating anything from about first line E
down to an octave below - at least not with a normal embouchure. I tend to
just get air instead of sound. I feel like I can't get my lips to come

I am considering attending one of his clinics, but it would require a long

Hello Brittany,
Regarding your question about loudness and projection...
Mentally envision your sound projecting forward, and fill-the-room with
your sound. Of course, use loudness that is appropriate to your part - but
still even at pianissimo, fill the room with your pianissimo!

Wolfgang Tomboeck jun. used & still uses an Alexander 107 Bb-high-F,
borrowed from his ex-colleague retired Franz Soellner (suffered a cut of

Wolfgang uses this horn & another single high F for special spots, why
not. RolandBer
I think the VPO players have a sensible, practical attitude to this.
I saw a TV concert (150th Anniversary) some years ago, in which Hoegner used
a single descant horn for the 1st movement of the Mendelssohn Italian, and
then reverted to Vienna horn for the remainder, where the tessitura is not
