A foam cup with a straw through the bottom works great, the tighter the seal
between the straw and the bottom of the cup the better.

Dear Hornists,
I have recently purchased a piece for flute, horn and piano (by Muller). The
horn part starts as "corno in Mi". By looking at the flute and piano parts,
this must be for horn in E. This is the first time I have seen this. Can anyone

There are many theories on this. Having played some awful Elkhart 8Ds,

8Ds were "less inconsistent" (sic) than those made in Texas after Conn

I played on an Eroica in college. While home on a break, I recorded myself in
my church sanctuary and was pretty amazed at my sound - large, open while still
retaining a nice darkness, a true horn sound. I later changed to a yamaha and

I've read posts by people who claim that the valves on Holtons are troublesome.
I'm wondering what specifically is meant by this? Do they mean that the valves
are difficult to keep slick & quick? or do they mean the valves leak? or do
they mean the valves wear out sooner than valves on other

Stopped notes lower than that get difficult for a lot of people. The

The King Eroica is a decent horn. Some of them are funky as far as
intonation. They have a very large bell. The valves are excellent. The
instrument is very sturdy. I had a friend that played one in college. She
sounded fantastic.
