David, I have not seen a horn playing better than another.
It is the player. My standard double has the Viennese bore
also, and the Viennese bell section (even the flare is
bigger). But the single F gives a better result (F-horn
wise) as it is free of the additional bends.
Greetings

Hello Steve, your inquiry was from Saturday only and I am
very busy at the moment. With the Giardinelly you have got a
very good mouthpiece. It is not much different from my
mouthpieces. But I am sold out anyway & waiting for the new
production. As you know perhaps, we are sunk in snow chaos

Hi Seth,
Since you are just getting into mouthpieces, a good place to start is
the
first chapter of Philip Farkas' book, "The Art of French Horn Playing".

Are you asking about two specific horns? If so, which ones? The

Forgive a private correspondence here, but Herr Pizka, I've sent you a
couple of emails about purchasing a mouthpiece from you and have not
received a reply. Kindly reply to me privately and we'll continue the
conversation.
You may now all return to your regularly schedule programming. :)

Hello Seth,
I don't know exactly where your "local shop" is located. These folks may or
may not be competent to advise you about you a horn. Unfortunately, there
are too many local music stores, particlarly in smaller communities, who
should stick to selling cheap electric guitars to teenagers

As far as I know, Getzen never sold a Kruspe style horn but there was one
that looked just like a Conn 6D, you should be able to find a picture of a 6D
on eBay. The other model was a compensating horn. Both were made in Italy
and imported by Getzen (and others). They are spectacularly med

Be careful of those Blessing-Getzen compensating double horns -- the ones
that look like this:

I think you have to at least mention Dillon Music in Woodbridge, NJ. I
don't know about their stock of new instruments but they have quite the
collection of used brass instruments.

Hi gang.
For the sake of those in the market to try out horns, let's put our heads
together on a list of retailers with a decent stock of instruments. Let's
limit these to stores with actual stock of quality instruments. Eventually I
will put these on a map.
I'll go first:

Question for Hans regarding bad horns, it was "common knowledge" that a
batch of Sansone horns would probably meet the criteria of "bad horn."
Supposedly these horns were mass produced for the US military in the 1940s.
Is this just a "horn urban legend?"
