Hey all! In the interests of sharing pet pieces and expanding everyone's
repertoire, I thought it would be fun to have a thread where everyone lists
favorite pieces they're familiar with that they think are great compositions
but are underrepresented and not widely known amongst hornists. In p
The symphonies name is "L´Imperiale". Symphony no.53 stands
in D. It is scored for strings, 2 oboes & two horns, while 2
bassoons, 2 trumpets and timpani are more or less "ad lib.".
The symphony was composed 1775.
The horn parts should be in D & G. I have no special
memories with this symphony as

Mr. Mansur has the best advice, get a real good teacher. If there are
none in your locale, here are some suggestions.
Keep the mouthpiece.
Have your horn examined by a competent Horn repair expert. I had a

In 1959 a new geyer was $600 out the door. That was the equivalent of 4
mortgage payments on a 3 bedroom brick house my dad built in 1954 in a
Chicago suburb. It wasn't peanuts then. And the drill was like this:

If I had Ten large ones(thousand), I would buy Mr.
Leuba's Geyer. Sounds like a great horn.
Horn prices are not based on material value,(ie Brass
and solder).
Current horn prices are based on workmanship and
demand. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I have seen the major custom horn studios that ar

Hi Bill,
Congratulations on your hat trick - sending the same message three times!

been NO advances in design or construction since roughly 1900? I was under
the impression that there has been much work done on the subject of tapering
