Mr. Hui is correct - the piece is the serenade by borodin. I have this tape,

played the rossini les rendezvouss des chasses as an encore.

Hi Peter,
The bumpers on the Hoyer are pure silicone. They have a soft feel, which
some players prefer. (They're a little too soft for my taste.) The main
problem with silicone is that it is attacked by oil and tends to deteriorate
quickly. O-Rings, vacuum cleaner belts, etc., are made of buna-n

Peter Hui is correct, I have no doubt, that the Borodin Serenade was played

Peter, I sold a horn a few years back through Brass
Arts in Baltimore. I would certainly do it again.
The horn sold quickly and for a good price. The guys
