To those out of school at young age just practising horn: Do you really think, practising horn for (say) three hours a day would be enough to arrive at professional playing level, would be enough to prepare oneself for the profession as a musician, do you ? I hope not. This would be not enough

Dear List: I am concerned about the amount of mouthpiece pressure I use when I play. I see a cookie-cutter ring every time I play anything above a G or an A above the staff. I am trying to think of ways to eliminate this before it gets worse. My flexibility seems to be unaffected by this

[Hornlist] Pop Song for Horn

For trimming corks, it's nice to have a brand new sharp straight razor blade. You can get a package of about 10 at the drug store or a package of 100 at the hardware or paint store. Use a new one (or two) for each horn so it's always razor sharp! - Steve
