When the Conn Connstellation mouthpieces came out back in the late 1960s or early 1970s, there were 8 models in the line-up, all with stock gold plating... 9B-W 9B-N 7B-W 7B-N 5B-W 5B-N 3B-W 3B-N Though the difrerences were slight, Model 9 was the smallest Model 3 was the largest -- full

Try the Conn 9D. It's probably the best of both worlds. Wilbert in SC ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

[Hornlist] Dauprat

I have had a chance to spend some time with Richard Burdick's new recording of Louis-François Dauprat's trios and quartets for natural horns. It is an amazing tour de force! The sheer virtuosity is stunning, the intonation impeccable, the tone rich and full, and the lip trills are to die for.

[Hornlist] Re: Conn vs. Yamaha vs. Hoyer, etc.

Given a choice, I'd take the Yamaha 668II. The best Kruspe Horner clone on the market today. The Hoyer is a good copy of the 8D but is just that, a copy. It has all the old faults most notably the intonation, especially in the upper register. The current Conn 8D is actually a King in

[Hornlist] Re: Current Conn 8Ds

If you get a good one, some of the current 8Ds play reasonably well. I don't think I'd use the word beautiful. There are a couple of things that bug me about them, the valves are designed for premature failure and there's no wire in the bead of the tank-like bell. Valve linkage is shoddy

[Hornlist] Looking at horns in Germany

I am an amateur hornplayer, who is thinking about getting a new horn. I am going to Germany in March for work, and I thought that it might be fun to have a look at some horns mad eby German manufacturers while I am there. I have been to the Alexander shop in Mainz before, but I didn't get a

RE: [Hornlist] Re: Conn vs. Yamaha vs. Hoyer, etc.

That was my FIRST impression of the Hoyers when they first came out. The recent ones, however are FAR superior, as the company has listened very closely to the input of a number of young and older players alike. I am quite sure Gerhard Meinl, the new owner of the Hoyer company would love to get

RE: [Hornlist] Re: Conn vs. Yamaha vs. Hoyer, etc.

I agree with Orlando. I've played an old and new Hoyer side by side and the old model was not good, but the new one was a very nice playing horn. Loren \@() [EMAIL PROTECTED] (520) 403-6897   -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pandolfi,

Hello List! I'm a horn beginner (5th year) and after beeing sick for a week, I'm trying to get back to the horn, and it feels like I haven't been playing for months. What is the best way to recover my playing? Thank you very much, Itay ___ post:

I found an old Getzen horn nickle silver at my local music shop. I have no idea what to compare Getzen horns to. I know Getzen specializes in trumpets and trombones and offers a single and double horn, but i cant find any history or information on their later horn models. Any info would be

Re: [Hornlist] Dauprat

David - Thanks for the tip on Richard Burdick's new recording. For a similar experience of this marvelous repertoire for natural horn, and some outstanding natural horn playing, I suggest that you get Rick Seraphinoff's recording of French Chamber Music for Horn and Strings. It includes
