Thanks everyone for the great response to my questions
both on and off list!!
Though I don't understand how everyone can benefit if
people are answering questions and debating privately?
This is my first time here. Is there a private club
underneath/behind the list?
Actually, the sound happens even
Hi, Just noticed this piston valve F King on Ebay. I had one of these horns
and it was the nicest playing F horn I ever touched. I don't know if this
one is as good of course but the one I had was a winner. Please note: I

One thing that my teacher has pointed out to me is that I get a
fuzzy, airy, sound (perhaps a "whoosh") when I don't articulate my
valves quickly (this happens a lot during slow passages). The best way
I can think of doing it is to play with "deliberate" valves; i.e. push

Hi everyone this is my first posting!!
I just bought a used Yamaha 667S horn and there is a
whooshing sound when I switch between the F and b
sides of the horn in a slur. Does anyone know what
this could be? The sound is much louder when I slur
and switch between F and b sides going into the low

To digress slightly: It is really not quite so black and white as this,
e.g., I think the right pitches all the time, but when I sing, if I'm

Guess what cabbage. I'm finding I can sing any note cold 75% of the time,
without doing an interval check, so 75% of the time I could start a piece
correctly.

What kind of pitch do you have if you can could

Pretty useless pitch, if you ask me. Most of the

With perfect pitch, one can ID a note and can tell the

My understanding is that relative pitch has many levels. With regard to the

difficulty with the non-diatonic and confusing enharmonic spellings that appear
in this very fine sight-singing exercise book. Some people have v

Good Luck!

Relative pitch usually means functional perfect pitch once given a starting

starting pitch out of the air.

Not to be argumentative, but I don't see how your definition and mine
contradict each other. Maybe defined differently, but not contradictory.

No, that isn't what I understand by relative pitch. To me, relative pitch is
the ability to hear intervals accurately, and so to be able to sing or play
accurately and in tune any
I've always heard the term "relative pitch" used for those having quite good
ears, but not quite perfect pitch. I put myself in that catagory. Some who
can sing a pitch cold most of the time, knows proper intervals, plays in tune,
yet probably coudln't tell you if a solitary note was sharp or
