issue.

the cylindrical tubing on an Alex is about .2 mm larger than US
horns. The stock tubing in US shops is too small.

Dear List,
After reading Dr. Matlicks' post I realized he left off another high quality
alternative to custom mouthpieces. I recently had some experience with
Houser Mouthpieces and was so suprised by the high
quality/workmanship/playability I ended up buying two. I believe he has many

Steve,
A few years ago, I needed a similar setup for my Paxman. Rather than go
thru the manufacturer, I visited a competent repairman in my area, who made
for me two identical, straight tubes (male on one end, female on the
other). So, I am now able to insert the two straight slides into the

Dear all,
I'm Roberto an italian Hornist who have a Conn 9DY French Horn. I have
posted in the past a mail regarding intonation problems with my Conn
9DY, in particular a problem with intonation on the Bb side ( on the F
side the intonation is perfect). The note intervals is too large and, in
I mailed Alexander - using the link on their web site - but have not
received a reply. I'm trying to get a price on an F-extension to be used in
place of the stopping valve tubing of my 5-valve Bb single horn. Does
anyone have an email or telephone number for Alexander they know will be
answered,

If you are interested in a Chambers style mouthpiece, I highly
recommend the Moosewood C model. Giardinelli has changed the design of
the old Chambers mouthpiece, including the blank. I have an old C-1

I have tried these mutes on occasion at workshops this past year. They
are pretty heavy and look very similar to a cross between a squat
Silent Brass mute and a Harmon mute.
In my opinion, I felt the mute was a bit stuffy and lacked the edge/zip
traditional stop mutes use. It would be applicable

Larry, you will be surprised, there is also a
(non-transposing) mute to be used on the hand horn & you can
even produce the otherwise manipulated semi tones, as there
is a special device on this mute (quite simple). It is an
invention from very early 19th century.
There is also a non-transposing s
