Dear Diana,
I hope that this quick response finds you well in Florida.
I have assembled a few things for you to think about. Keep in mind that
many people have differences of opinion when it comes to this subject, but I
hope to provide you with somewhat of a standard as to the differences

Best choice for a warm tone is single F brass, but what to do with the
high notes ?
Get a Bb-side added.
If the Bb-side does not satify for the extreme high, get a high F added,
etc.
If the sound is quite small then, get a bigger bell added.
If the sound is not warm enough then, get a red brass
I enjoyed that letter Hans. I can't begin to tell you how many people think
that by getting their ultimate horn (and sadly I used to think this way) that
all of a sudden your mistakes would all and dissappear and then magically you
could play like Baumann.
Wrong.
I find that now that I own a s

There is another difference between the alloys that is of practical nature: the
hardness. Nickel silver is the hardest of the three and does not dent so
easily; however, it is also harder to repair. Rose brass is the softest; it

Hello all,
Anyone have their horn cryogenically treated? I had an opportunity about 5

I've been hearing stories of how wonderful it is... Anyone hav

I live in NJ and am looking to try a Rauch Horn. I have heard many
great things about these horns but cannot seem to find anybody who
owns one. If anyone knows where I can go, aside from Norway and
Minnesota, to play a Rauch please email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thank you,
Dan Wions

Absolutely true. And it _still_ manages to be just as boring.

Well, this is a big maybe, but you may want to e-mail someone like Thomas

To hoss;
There are many horns made with the "kruspe wrap" as you call it- some fine
instruments, some poor ones.
To condemn all horns made in a specific wrap because you happened to have a
"not so easy to play horn" of this type is simply sophomoric.

Not once did I say a specific wrap was better for anybody- I've had my luck
with the geyer after a long stint with a Kruspe which was a fine typical Kruspe
playing horn and it sold for a good chunk of money, It's dangerous to

Yes, I've had this done...to that same Yamaha 862 I was discussing earlier
today. And, as I understand it, William is right...the idea behind the
freezing treatment is to relax the tensions in the metal so that the horn
plays "older" than its years. But I hasten to add that the metals are not

Well, that's interesting. These horns and Bergs have been almost
unobtainable in the secondary market, and now there is a 'glut' of Rauch's.
Guess we can blame this on the bad economy?

In response to Hans' recent posting, I thought it

Tons of wisdom with a touch of humor.
The trouble is that everything he says does work.
