yeah nothing will get you fired from your orchestra job quicker than your

going off in a rehearsal to the notes of the long call! It would be hard to

Laurent,
I agree completely. I consider everyone on the list as colleagues and
friends and I sure as hell don't want politics to ruin the list. We should
remember that this is a world wide forum and those of us that are Americans
should darned well keep our election to ourselves. Why bore
If there isn't one, bring a recorder over to my studio and I can foul up a
long call in just a second...(with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek),

Oh please, please let it turn political again so that I can feel free to
bring you all up to date with the political scene here in Radcliffe. I can
tell you about what they have done to the town hall and why we jump the red
lights beside it. I can tell you about the market and the mayor
We as colleagues all know the politics that goes into the Stygian stew whenever
funding for performances comes up. A little humor was being added, not Kerry or W
venting. Konrad Adenauer had it right - People sleep better when they don't know what

For the lapping I do when I'm tightening bearings, I built a simple set up
that lets me use my DeWalt drill to do the work. Because I'll only have
one easy shot at the lapping,

I'm pretty happy with my C.F.Schmidt Schmidt-style horn. Unfortunately its
currently out of service due to a need for a valve job :(

When Walter Lawson taught me how to lap valves, he
said that the valve should spin freely through all
360 degrees of rotation. If a valve is properly
lapped, one should be able to take the spindle,
spin the valve, and it should spin around freely
several times before it slows to a stop.

As I recall, there has been a Hill Schmidt model
horn for sale at hornplayer.net for several months.
The price is $6,000, which is quite fair, IMHO.

It seems silly to say this yet, with 90% of the people I work with on
this solo do not either know the terms or observe them in the music.
2. Select an appropriate tempo.

As previously noted, Hill makes a Schmidt style horn that is supposed to be
very good and Yamaha made some, but they are somewhat rare. As you know,
Conn, King and York made Schmidt style horns as well decades ago. According
to Milan Yancich, Carl Geyer thought that the Schmidt design
Horn transposing is a nice science/art that a horn player has to have in

Let clashing notes on suspensions get weight/energy and let the
