Hi all,
I'd like to also recommend the hand position advocated in this article:

I find that it has the advantage of being the same, sitting or
standing, and is very easy to change to stopped horn. In addition,
it makes you sound darker
Hi Valerie,
The discussion about the right hand position in Gunther Schuller's
excellent book "Horn Technique" may be of some assistance to you.
If I'm not mistaken, it's available from Oxford University press; if
you don't already own a copy, it's an inexpensive paperback-- a very

The physics of a garden hose are those of a straight tube/cylinder. The

Why would this be? I assumed that any pipe

The hose is not the thing that is playing octaves. Your embouchure is
doing the playing, and it's guaranteed that the pitch coming

If it were that easy to design a horn that played in tune, everyone would be
doing it!

All the reactions about band music are interesting. Playing the off beats on
time is not a problem since my very first music teacher was a very strict piano
teacher who made me buy a new (at that time) electric metronome to learn not
only how to play on the beat, but also to learn how the diffe

We are going to settle for a 180, a 178 or a YHR667, with slight preference for
the Yamaha. We have time. If she blossoms like I think she will, she will
outgrow it in two years.
