[Hornlist] Re: Lead pipes for Conn 8D

2007-11-28 Thread KendallBetts
I'm curious to know what your criteria is for judging a leadpipe? What would you consider that makes a certain pipe better, not just different? I make pipes that have a better scale and respond quicker, especially on the Bb horn, on a Conn 8D, any Conn 8D. Would folks consider that bet

2007-11-28 Thread Douglas Lundeen
Orlando makes a good point. After using Alexander horns for ten years, it made a BIG difference to use a German mouthpiece. All of the Klier and Tilz mouthpieces I tried worked better than anything else I had used. The Paxman mouthpieces (including Halsead Chidell) were designed for a more v

I sincerely appreciate all the discussion offered by Wendell & others on the C-series mpc. I played on the old style Giardinelli C10 for a little over a week. I loved how it offered a quick response, clean attacks & nice full tone. I noticed, however, during that week that I developed a firm

[Hornlist] Lead pipes for horns -- repair or replace?

2007-11-28 Thread Valerie WELLS
I can't comment on which lead pipe is best for a Conn 8D. But I can comment on how important a leadpipe in good condition is compared to a damaged leadpipe. I recently had the opportunity to play on a Holton 104, the Tuckwell horn, that has two interchangeable leadpipes. One of the lead pipe

American mouthpiece shanks have a different taper than the Alexander ones. An American mouthpiece will tend to make an Alex feel tight and strangely out of tune. It won't go into the receiver far enough. I had the same experience when I finally tried an Alex mouthpiece on a 103. Ahhh! S

I think Doug is right on with his last statement. As one who has experimented too many times with equipment, partially out of intellectual curiosity and partially out of stupidity, I have at least settled on one certain type of rim (very thin with a wide inner diameter) but have found that the cup

I grew up in the NYC Metro playing a large-bell silver horn starting on a C-12 and moving to a C-1 later on and emulating the Chambers/Bloom aesthetic with some success:) At CCM years later, working on a DMA for which I had to prepare 4 recitals, it occurred to me that I needed different equipment
