I was wondering what other people had found most useful in
practising low notes. (I feel suddenly inspired to practise them

Dear Sharon,
There are two sources of information on this subject you should access. The
first is Randy Gardner's book on the subject that was published recently. I
think it is Mastering the Low Register or something to that effect.
Perhaps someone else can clarify this. My son has mine and he
Dear Ken:
I was talking about the Chicago Symphony where are recently as yesterday
afternoon it was 100% brass, Geyer wrap horns on which they sounded
phenomenal. I have no doubt that great players on various brands can and do
blend beautifully. I guess the approach here is that the section will
One of the most important requirements for a successful professional low horn
performer
and one of the least talked about (because the discussion gets so clouded
with exercises and technique ) is developing the ability to HEAR IN THE LOW
REGISTER.
This is not only the basis for technique in
Make sure to brush out your mouthpiece stem - crud can develop and remain
invisible. The reduced bore degrades low register quality so gradually
that you don't notice it. On the bright side, as soon as the stuff is
gone your low register may be better than ever because you have

Excellent suggestion to the many mucky pops out in the horn field,
even within the professional community. I have seen things,
unbelieveable ..
It is a matter of discipline. Nothing else. How will things be regarding
the players body ??
I sent this message to the hornlist during the summer (July) but did not get
any information about the Paris B mouthpiece. Maybe many hornlisters were on
vaccation so I try again:
I am an amateur horn player in Sweden and I have recently borrowed a
mouthpiece which has the inscription Paris B. I
Work on the opening of Shostakovich 5- Doug Hill has some awesome studies in

This is something out of the regular, as this note (bottom G = noted as
bass clef first line from bottom of staff) is within the regular compass
of the horn. And if you can reach c (below 4 ledger lines below staff or
bass clef 2nd space from below), you should reach the other notes down
to bottom
I have to say that I also would be considering other options
if my repair-person had been working on my horn for four
years. Hope you had a good backup horn!

Fred,
Servicing does not necessarily mean having in the shop continuosly for

There are places where you can get copies of a mouthpiece made. It is a
little more expensive but it is always possible.
The mouthpiece is the one final area of horn hardware I never really spent
gobs of money on (within reason) or gobs of time experimenting with so it will
be a fun experience
