In line with the Prof's comments, I have to wonder how he did on
trumpet.harmonics are closer together within the playing range on horn, but
would think he would have many of the same problems.
Anyway, unless he is willing to "take ownership" of the problem by either

Well, you should agree with other sections on which zigzag
of the conductors beat all should release their sound. If
you play after the beat (as trombones do too often !), you
will be late. Everybody has to come with the beat, which
means, all have to link in with the conductors beat, feel it

There must be some severe defects in his or her training, as
just "nerves" would not create such effects as you
described. If he does not notice quickly enough at whih
harmonic he is playing along, he seems a just finger trained
player without using his ears. If he gets that nervous when

Hello Fellow Hornists
I play principal in a local volunteer community orchestra. My second took up
the horn some years ago after playing trumpet for most of his life. He's
quite able, but gets tense in exposed passages, to the extent that he often
jumps up a harmonic - and I think doesn't notic
You can get brass pox from small pits and scratches--acid from the hands gets
in them and eats away. I've had it happen.

Hi Nick,
It is really up to the conductor to fix this problem. I have had situations
when I had to anticipate a bit to give the conductor what he wanted. Other
times, I played along with what I heard and all was well. What I DO know is
that you cannot completely trust the recording. Microph
Hi, Nick -
I don't know about your particular situation, but I've found that it's good
to have something behind the horns other than curtains, 100 percussionists,
etc. My favorite place to sit is to the right of the WW's. The only
downside to this is being close to the second violins.
Also, for m
Dear list,
This past summer, I had the opportunity to play
in a full size concert hall with a full symphony
orchestra. I listened to our recording of the
performance, and I noticed that the horns were
consistently about a quarter of a beat behind. I find
this strange because there was a wide
What about a double horn that is say 30+ years old with the lacquer
departing the horn in bits and pieces and many small scratches? Is there
any value other than that of appearance to completely remove it, or have it
refinished?

I'm wondering about this myself. My horn's laquer is slowly coming off in
certain places and I'm wondering if I shouldn't just let it lose all of its
laquer naturally or just speed up the process.

Sorry, sorry, Alan, I thought the same for years, - until
they moved us in the pit, so we sat very unfavoreable
acoustically, playing right below the stage into the "grave"
where the percussion was placed before. No problems with a
lacquered double or better say, very little problems, but

Dear All
This thread reminds me of a time in my early professional days when, as a
callow youth straight out of music college, I was booked to play 8th horn
with a well known orchestra. The 7th was a slig
If you can't hear a difference, & the audience can't, & the conductor
can't, & your section colleagues can't, and the differences (such as they

Rather than assign the misbehaving 2nd hornist to 4th, I would assign him all
of
my first/high horn umpa/offbeat parts (marches, etc). No better way to "bust
his
chops"
Also, at my college, the horn professor had control over paying gigs in the
region (requests for horn players came to him).
