The problem is a problem of standards similar to the problem of
different heights of car bumpers. If all horn makers would use the
American Zero morse taper for the initial (reverse) taper - so to speak
mouthpiece receiver - and all mouthpieces had the same taper on their
shank, the problem would b

My good friend has just called me and he has had his horn stolen out of his car

Actually Tom and Moosewood solved the problem for me. I made a trip to Phoenix
so that he could fit the shank perfectly.
I cannot believe that I spent so many years as a pro without knowing this
little trick.

Since Milton brought up the bore problem, I suggest you check with Tom Greer at
his mouthpiece company, MooseWood. He will take time to make sure the taper is
correct for your new 8D. I know there has to be a bunch of us playing on
MooseWood's.

Just a quick one from me. I have been away from my computer for some time and
didn't have time to read all the "mouthpiece" replies to you. BUT:

I've found that if I place my lips against a full but opened bottle of
wine about 10 minutes before playing and really stay self-disciplined
about removing it's contents, I'm a much better player in the ensuing
session. Or at least **I** tend to think so. I do so enjoy the

Maybe you need a new mouthpiece! Anyone have any recommendations for

Happy New Year to you too! My horn is right here. I'm thinking about
getting a new mouthpiece.

The Marketplace at IHS Online has the option of advertising a "wanted

different mouthpiece and the approach to playing.
It seems that with a brand new horn we should be able to set the horn issue
aside, but you never know. It would be interesting to try the new mouthpiece
on the old horn
Which one? My Alex 103 with the cut bell, uncut bell, or my Cor Solo...
All will rest today.

I won't attempt to give any specific mpc recommendations, but I think you
should keep this criteria in mind...
1) The sound should be that of a conventional French Horn, not that of a
trumpet, trombone, or euphonium.
2) Intonation, articulation, and a good 'playable range' are much more
important
