Dear Professor Matlick and listers, I whole heartedly agree with the observation Dr. Matlick made regarding Froydis Wekre's live performances. I had the privilege to perform in the Pacific Lutheran University Wind Ensemble accompanying her in a performance of Strauss I in 1992. Her performance

Mark, I hadn't played a Holton since high school, but remember very well the terrible valve trouble I had on my H-180 back then. I was in Boston this past weekend and decided to try out a new Merker-Matic at Rayburn's Music, just to satisfy my curiosity. My opinion (for what it's worth) is that

Dear Brittany, and our entire group, At the risk of stirring up a hornets' (or hornists') nest here, may I wonder if such competitions as Brittany's are themselves totally worthless? Christopher Bonner says wonderful things about his student Brittany. How lucky they are to have each other!

Dear Listers, I offer my own experience and opinions for what it's worth. First of all, I played on a Holton 179 for almost 30 years before purchasing a Conn 8D about four years ago. I had many, many problems with the valve action, which got worse as the horn got older. Fortunately, I found

If the levers are too short for your fingers, you can get Chris at Blue Rider Music to solder dimes onto the ends of the levers, positioning the coins so that they extend beyond the ends of the levers. Lengthening the valve levers, in fact, is 1 of the 3 non-decorational reasons for soldering

Regarding their valves, Mark asked ...is it a problem ? Is it merely a perception ? Anyone who's horn begins to fail after a short time is justifiably irate. However, do they represent a small or large fraction of the population of owners? There will be a spectrum of ages at which any horn needs
