I seriously doubt that it's the spring rate. That's the rate of change of
stress with respect to strain. Stress being how hard it is pushing, and strain
being how far it's bent, roughly speaking. Back of envelope calculations:
Consider that you compress the spring about 180 to 270 degrees when you
Regarding the previous commentary on this topic, I would agree with the gentleman who
responded that different materials used in the construction of both styles of horn
largely affect their playing characteristics. The mouthpiece used is also important.
I own several horns built in both
From a strictly engineering perspective there should be no difference,
especially considering the number of coils involved. I've had the difference

You know I think it would be nice if everyone posting would always give

Hi all,
The Vienna Phil. played in Dublin last night and would you believe they
sang (well croaked and hummed mostly) the William Tell overture as their
encore!! Top marks for laughs anyway;)

Speaking of Vienna Phil, I just heard their recoding of Sibelius 1, under
Loren Maazel (sp.?) and their horn section knocked my socks off. Wow! It
doesn't get better than that, in my not-so-humble opinion. As many hundres
of times I've listened to that particular work, they brought out horn
Hi listers,
Question 1: The university I attend here in Orange County, CA just
purchased two ProTec hard cases (not gig bags) for two of their horns (a
holton 179 and an old 1924 Conn Schmidt copy). Has anybody had any
experience with these cases or with modifying new cases to 'custom fit'
I highly recommend Dennis Wick horn mouthpieces. I use them myself (a
standard 5N) and use them with all of my students (typically 5N,or 7N). Since I'm

Can't recommend these, since I haven't tried them, but Jim
Patterson's HornWorks is in L.A., and he offers several
custom mouthpieces that it might be worth the trip to try.
Though I can't recommend his mouthpieces, I can recommend
Jim as an intelligent craftsman interested in his customer's
I have a similar experience with a Vienna recording. Never
used to like Mahler 6 until I heard their recording made 5-6
years ago under Boulez. The horns were all over those parts
with supreme confidence and bravura. I'm going to look for
that Sibelius recording.

The early-mid '60s VPO/ Maazel LPs of the Sibelius and Tchaikovsky
symphonies have stunning recorded sound in Decca's best tradition. The
performances are exciting and the horn playing is as hot as described by
Anne. If you liked the Sibelius 1, listen to the Tchaikovsky Symphony 1.

All the best,

Ms. Megenity,
Go to Hans Pizkas site about Wienerhorns, especially regarding the lesson plans and
repertoire of those who study the art of Wienerhorn playing. Yes, they are of another
tradition but I acquired the Horn studies and music repertoire of the Wiener school
