What are you smoking, Josh? I have owned and played Holton's for over thirty years and I'll agree that there are better horns, but the Holton's I've played on play in tune! Some have been a bit stuffy, but I not had any reservations in recommending five of my current students to purchase

The time has come, I believe, when we can't just say don't buy a chinese Horn. The chinese are starting to build some really quite decent Instruments now, but you wouldn't want to buy one without tried it, since there are still a lot of them that are junk. ( I tried one, it was in F minor!) The

I believe all of you should look carefully at the new Hoyer horns. I only use the word new because Gerhardt Meinl, of Meinl-Weston tuba fame is now the owner of the Hoyer company. I had the pleasure of visiting the workshop in Germany, and the quality is exceptional. There are several

Never, ever, ever buy single Bb horns for your students. If anyone says that the difference in sound and technique doesn't make a difference, then they are missing the point of the instrument. Jeremy Hansen ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options

I agree completely.single Bb horns are not a good way to go at all. By the way.Holton horns work very well, particularly for middle schoolers. I would strongly recommend the 177. It has a medium throat and bell, is solidly built and gets along really well with middle school kids.

Hello to all. I feel that the bad press you folks are giving to the Holton horns is not fair to 'throw' at Rebecca. She is hoping to find some instruments which the students can learn on, and I have not been unhappy with the Holtons which I have used, for over 50 years, now!! I have not ever

I understand what you're saying, however I don't agree that most of the advantage is for the advanced player on the Bb side. With the partials further apart, it would make it less slippery for a beginning student. The frustration factor is a real one, though I agree that from a pure sense it is

I never said I couldn't play in tune on one. I can play in tune on a garden hose with a funnel jammed in the end. I said they were notoriously difficult to play in tune. Glad you've got my problem all figured out though. Now if I can just figure out which end to put the mouthpiece in...
