borrowed mouthpieces, - as a responsible player I would
have my mouthpiece with me at least. At an important gig

not that easy as many teachers might think. Explore the

Howdy all,
I've been playing on a Yamaha 667 for over 15 years (let's pretend I started at
5). My brillant horn instructor at the time thought I wasn't a big enough
player to handle anything else. Needless to say, he was my least favorite...
Anyway, the 667 has some interesting characteristics

This reminds me of another question I had about the triple horn - sorry to
flood the list.
Would people play delicate music (e.g. brandenburg) on a triple horn, or
is it better to play on a descant?
My understanding had always been that triples were meant for security, so

Lawrence, does it matter much at the amateur orchestra, to

Isn´t that a bit too much ambition similar to the
ambition of an amateur orchestra playing Bruckner no.8. This
kind of experiments should be prohibited for amateur groups,
as
I think that what you are considering is that the E should be the P4 up
from the B. You will be closer to a P4 with the 12 fingering as that
note is the sixth harmonic for a D horn series of the 12 valve
combination. The open E is a fifth harmonic in an F series and is
normally about 14 cents
I also own a Paxman and a Schmid triple. My Schmid is a F alto horn (as
is the Paxman)
. without a doubt the F alto side on the Schmid is usable further down
into the range then is the same sie on the Paxman. I think this is a
design difference not an Eb alto vs. Falto difference.
Hi,
I believe that the answer depends on major two factors:one is tone quality
and the other is the ease of playing on the other sides of the horn , the Bb
and F.As far as tone quality goes , I like the high Eb better.I think that
the tone color is pretty similar to Bb. As for ease of production
I have a fingering decision question for you - I suspect most of you will
tell me the choice below doesn't matter, but if you think it does, I'd like
your opinion.
(I've been practicing the tenor aria "Every Valley" from Handel's "Messiah"
- just for fun, and entirely on the F side of the horn, no
I gather that the big advantage of F over Eb is that you don't have to
learn the transposed Eb fingering playing F music.

I'm sort of fascinated how one can decide to spend such major money on
an instrument without a clear idea of what their expectations might be.
Your question implies resources available that make price no object.
For some reason, most horns you'll encounter in the US that have an F
alt tuning
howdy-
I'd like to share a little about the Geyer/Kruspe thing from my own
experience. I have always played an 8D, and for most of my serious
playing years much preferred the large-throat/bell Kruspe wrap playing
feel and sound. I am sort-of in the market for a new horn though, and

I have both. Both are great horns. I chose the high Eb on my E. Schmid
because I simply preferred the tone over the same horn w/ high F,
perhaps due to the longer leadpipe. My Paxman has a high F and also
works great. I can play lower on the high Eb than I can on the high F.
