My daily trill exercise is the first line of Kopprasch #5, starting in A
basso going up to Bb alt
I had learned how to produce a good lip trill on the horn on from a 1st line
E up to an F-G trill on top of the staff, and I guess I didn't maintain it,
as I can practically no longer trill at all. Any advice on how to get back
in the trill scene and maintain them so that I don't have to build them
My son has a 500 year old antique hammer. It's had 16 head changes and 20
new handles, and it improves with age.
I bought an old Cronlein horn on eBay that showed up with a very recent valve
job and the same Lawson pipe. The original Cronlein pipe worked better, so I

This weekend I'm off to hear my favorite Viennese Opera. I'm sure you're
all familiar with it. It's about a small rodent that roams the city biting
pneumatic tires on cars and bicycles. It's call DEFLATOR MOUSE.

My point was, that it's not the air traveling through the horn that makes
the sound, rather setting up a resonance of the air column within the horn.
Excessive air speed can actually interfere with that resonance, the sound wave

I used to own an H178 and, with a valve rebuild, Lawson .020 nickel silver

ever owned. Lovely sound, good pitch, and capable of as much noise as I ever
needed to make. Naturally, I decided to change it to a wide bel

Over the years, my experience with Holton has never been as an owner, but I
have played a lot of them. The first I remember playing was the original brass
model 77, and It compared favorably with Kruspes and Alexanders prevalent in
Boston at the time. Since then, there have been a string a Far

Thanks to Jay Sewell for the great pics of his New Symphony model Kruspe.
The horn I saw was listed in that 1930 catalog:

as the "Modell Horner, Philadelphia" The one pictured is different from

AFAI can measure, both the Conn 8D and Holton H179 "Farkas" have .468" in

I'm not at all familiar with the Holton horn in question, but I can shed a

The 8D has always had a bore of .468" (11.89mm).

It might be instructive to hear from those who understand the science of
music and the horn to explain the difference between the volume of air moved
through the horn and the velocity, how they are related and what each
contributes to the music a horn produces.

It's not just the speed of the bow but how lightly or heavily the bow

can play by sucking in instead of blowing out (who needs

Thanks for the interesting information. I, too, have a Kruspe "New Symphony"
