Hello Rachel and others,
Jim Winter was a man of a vast knowledge not only regarding
the horn. It was a great pleasure talking with him. I can
say that I was most happy to have Jim Winter as guest in my
house many years ago (1989). I miss this distinguished
professor very much.

Jim's kindly intervention is one big reason I still play horn today. He was

Sorry to correct you,John, but as I have stepped back from
the principal position a yeasrt ago - and it was the right

Everyone, you have provided me with good, useful information about Alex 103

considering for a variety of reasons, but at the same time he likes the idea
of me trying an Alex 103 and, since he owns two of them, he has lent

The pre 1940s Alexanders were a different animal than the 50s and later

The joke was always that the best ones stayed in Germany, the second best
came to England and the rest went across the Atlantic. I'm sure it isn't true.
I have had two Alex 103's and both have been superb. Three of my students
currently have 103's and they too are excellent instruments.

My story was of a purchase over 25 years ago. I've not bought a horn since

But this is a world wide epidemic.

I bought an Alexander 103 in 1980 with money I saved from my gap-year job
between school & university. I've never regretted the purchase and I still
use the same horn.
I talked through the choice of instrument with my teacher Douglas Moore.
Once we established that my budget ran to an Alex, he sai
