If you use hot water, you can cause thermal shock and braces will unsolder.

Wow! And here all these years I have actually liked Chavez's music. How
embarrassing!

Please don't stop enjoying music just because of something that I said. I am
wrong about things all the time.
Sinfonia India is a nice piece. In 24 years in Mexico playing 36 wee

You come to my home town and are NOT performing on natural horn. Could
that possibly mean you are performing on an unnatural horn (maybe even a
GMO horn?)
I'm amazed that I hadn't heard about you coming here since I play in 2
local symphonies and I hadn't heard about this. W

brass musical instruments. The first will be this Wednesday evening,

Can anyone give me any information on Eric Hauser. 40 years ago, I used
his book to move from euphonium to horn but have never known much about
him. The book is rather fast paced which seems about right for a college
kid learning a new instrument. And it has a huge variety of material in
it.

I tend to agree with the other reply.
The 3rd slide isn’t wrapped as tightly as on a normal Bb horn.
Speaking in Pythagoras fraction, which is close enough to get the sense of

The F extension on a Bb horn has to be 1/3 of the theoretical length of the Bb
horn (the real horn is a b
Roberto,
The Conn you have uses a 120 degree valve, not the easier to reverse 90 degree
valve.
The only person I knew who could reverse a Conn was the late Walter Lawson who
charged $300 for this service to a member of the New York Philharmonic in the
1970's. Sadly he must have taken this k
I think the 3rd valve slide is the right length. It appears to be the same
basic wrap as found on the third valve slide of the single Bb that Adam
Unsworth plays. A picture can be found at

As to the 4th valve, I once heard that an F extention could be ma
Hi, Guys:
I'm puzzled by a horn in a photo of Eric Hauser:

It looks to me to be a single B-Flat horn with a fourth valve perhaps intended
as an F extension, however the lengths of the third and fourth valve slides
seem wrong. Both appear to be too long for

If the orchestration [of Sinfonia India] seems a little odd, well, Chavez

The impression we got from our conductor was "Sinfonia India" was a very
popular number. It was to symphonic music what Zacatecas is to march
music. Thanks for the background information.
