Well.. I use pretty much only Bb on Mozart 1 to eliminate most cross
fingerings. Having small hands and a Schmidt wrap, I have little choice. I
think there is nothing more tedious than practicing licks just for fingerings.
Having saved myself from that, I can spend the time on other areas, i.e.

Best would be: get uniforms for all of them, but the same uniform.
Yes, but it would have to be a special strech material like they use for
car seat covers. one size fits all otherwise those proud parents might
have to buy a new one every time their child grew out of it.

Tom Bacon wrote a great article for Yamaha on starting kids on Bb
horns. His basic idea (I hope memory serves me here) was that as long
as you educate a students concept of a good horn tone and stick with
it, Bb is a great choice for students. Success comes quickly and I
I started on the single F horn just prior to my tenth birthday and in
the summer before fifth grade. I remember vividly bringing it home:
not the shiny beautiful instrument on the recruitment poster, but
rather a badly dented, peeled-lacquer, smelly wreck of a school-owned
horn. The case had a
Does anyone have any information about Martin Morris? He was my first
horn teacher back in the early 1960s. I remember his home where I had my
lessons. I even remember his dog; a giant poodle. He also sold me my
first double horn. He told me at least once that Myron Bloom was his
first pupil. I

Um...my point was (in the section that I mentioned
from Mozart 1) that the Bb horn entails many
cross-fingerings, whereas the F horn doesn't. Maybe I
was unclear about the section to which I was refering.

Hello All:
I have a wonderful 50 year old Alexander 103 with a bell that is so thin it
wrinkles when you look at it wrong. I think converting the bell to

I seem to recall reading in the Morley-Pegge Horn
book that Gumbert (?) remarked composers of today,
like Mahler and Strauss, really require a little motor

HI, Gary,
I also have a wonderful 50 year old Alexander 103, and I've had the bell
converted (not because of any thinness, just for portabiliity). There are
two ways to do the conversion, a right way and a wrong way - the right way
is naturally more costly. It involves unsoldering the entire
If the bell is that thin, a conversion to cut bell would be disastrous.
The bell has to be fixed quite well with the screw. Unscrewing the bell,
turning the bell a bit too strongly, well, the bell will not wrinkle but
fold entirely, as even new Alexanders do if the screw stuck somewhat.
And the
My circa 1958 Alex 103 had its screw bell conversion done maybe 15 years

Hi Gary,
If you have never cut a bell before and have no experience in horn repair, I
would definitely advise you not even to consider thinking about cutting your
bell yourself !!
A successful conversion to screw bell on your horn could be achieved
-depending on where your bell is thin and
Gary,
Have you contacted Keith Berg in B.C. about your bell problem?
He is the closest person to you who could help.
