I saw him play the Hindemith Sonate on a Holton at the first horn symposium in 1969 in Florida. He also played horn quartets with Farkas, Tuckwell, and Lansy-Otto which was fascinating because they all played differently but blended perfectly. -- Original message from John Dutton

Indeed, Mr. Barrows often played a Holton H-177, a silver horn (which surprised him that he liked that metal of this model horn) during his professorship a the University of Wisconsin after leaving the New York scene. He worried that his Schmidt would be damaged in transit to performances. In fact

Although I¹m sure John could borrow a Kruspe from someone, he did own or play a Kruspe in the nearly 20 years that I knew him, even though he greatly admired Arthur Berv. He did have virtually instant access to Holton H-177 horns, and told me of a story of one being ³pancaked² in the baggage area

I had my braces put on in my second year or playing, and I had them for about five years. I lost about half of my range immediately, but it cam back over the following month. I encountered some difficulty, because I found that using wax to cover the metal did not help; it would never stay, and

I got braces put on the second year of my playing, too. As I wasn't very good the first year (who is?) I didn't really notice any playing changes, other than endurance loss due to the metal digging into my lips. I got one of the plastic bumper guards, and it helped with the cuts and the pain.

Pucky! Both my kids are in braces right now. The older one plays trumpet, got braces on in 7th grade 5 weeks before solo contest. The first time she played with them on, most of her upper register was gone and she could only play for a few minutes, which is fine, because there's no sense

A student of mine had braces put on a few months ago. She lost both her high and low range, but they are coming back. While she said it didn't hurt to play, the high and low notes just wouldn't play. It was a good opportunity to work on minimizing lip pressure and breath support. We ordered
