When it comes to protecting the ears, there's no question: use the plugs. Every time your ears ring, you've done some damage. Etymotic http://www.etymotic.com sells musician's earplugs for $12. I use them. I also use them in noisy environments so I can hear speech more easily. They have a flat fre

I was planning on staying out of this, but . . . Yes, Farkas does write about the flat chin. It is not in the Art of Horn Playing. It is in the Art of Brass Playing. He includes illustrations on pp. 17 and 18 (of the Wind Music, Inc. edition, 1989). These photographs illustrate the bu

I think it should be noted that Farkas wrote of the "Brass players' U" which should be apparent on the face with a firm chin and the corners of the lips also firm. This is as opposed to the player with a "peach pit chin" or bunched-up chin. Let me note that I have never had any brass stud

Basically You tube and Viacom will come up with a deal that covers the use of Viacom owned material. Yes it will probably cost You Tube some money along the way.

Bravo Daniel, so D# & Eb are not the exactly the same. I have the feeling always, Eb leading down & D# leading up, so I use the rather flat 3rd octave of the Ab horn (Bb-horn 1st valve) for the Eb and the 10th step of the harmonic scale of the E-horn (F-Horn + 2nd valve) for the D# if both pitches

Hallo Hans, Robert Freund plays first - the assistant sits left to him from viewer - and Willi Janezic plays 2nd horn, the assistant or doubler sitting to his right (from viewer). Both assistants are not recognizeable. This is the usual setting in Vienna when doubling a two horn symphony. So first

May I add that the scales are not all the same, the corresponding intervals are actually slightly different. For example, C-E is not exactly the same interval as F-A. This aspect gives each scale its own character. (This may be not true for an electronic instrument). Daniel ___

We have to have a closer look to these warm-ups & their abuse. Also in Europe, we had & still have similar things than the Farkas warm-ups: The old fashion Josef Schantl method.
