Mark S wrote regarding the Bb horn: 2. A little fuller sound +++ What makes a "fuller" sound is the amount of overtones in the given note. A shorter horn will never have more overtones so there is no way a single B horn is going to have a "fuller" sound than a

Hi, I gotta go with this side of the camp. I see no logical reason why a beginner shouldn't start on a double. Nor would I prefer to tell a beginner that they should start on trumpet and then switch to the horn in a few years. I seriously doubt that an 11yo is going to understand the logic behind

I would have to say that for the most part, beginners should start on a double horn. There are many reasons: 1. Parents don't pay for a horn that is unusable in a year or so and pay only slightly more for a more usable instrument. 2. Students can acclaimate more easily and advance more q

I highly recommend the Conn 6d, preferably an elkhardt if you can find one. If one is not avaible, get some Yamaha 567's. They play really well for the price tag and are a much smaller wrap than the 6d (smaller players*). On Tue, 19 Apr 2005 Leonard Brown wrote : >Tis asked > > >I'm one of t

Here is some opinionated orthodoxy on the subject, to wit: Any student learning to play horn as a beginner -- whether switching to horn from some other instrument or starting out on horn as the student's very first instrument -- should always get started on a single horn in F. Starting on an F h

I start most of my beginner students on an appropriately sized horn - either double or F. The first lessons are without instrument: singing, matching pitches and intervals, recognizing intervals that I play on horn and piano, and buzzing. Breathing exercises also are important at this time. Then

They're going to let you buy new instruments? I always thought it was the rule that if the kid wants an instrument that works, he has to get his own. The Yamaha student models aren't bad, really. Mine lasted way longer than it should have. ---

This generally causes some disagreement. I do not like the Bb horn for beginners because it does not respond like the F horn. It can be difficult to transition to the double (or a single F) because of the response difference rather than just different fingerings. James Chambers said, "We only

I have done both F and Bb horns and have had success with both. The fingering problem from F horn is not really a problem. When you change to a double horn I suggest you get out the Clarke Tech Studies for trumpet. Study number 1 will starting on 3rd space C will solve the new fingerings, and study
