My Holton 200 descant also has a stopping valve on both sides -- although it's a bit awkward to hold both thumb triggers at once. My Paxman compensator also has stopping valves on both sides -- so maybe it's not so uncommon. John On 17 Apr 2009, at 00:40, Robson Adabo de Mello wrote: Nic

Perhaps not the Danzi, but what of the many Stich concertos in the key of E? It might be better to just get a horn with slides in F#/B natural at that point and just play the piece as if it were written in Eb. Hermann Baumann did this when he recorded the Weber concertino (Engelbert Schmid, I beli

I currently play a Paxman 23L, but am looking for a new horn. I have found the resistance to be a bit much, especially in the high register. Does anyone have some suggestions for horns to look at that are more free blowing (between Engelbert Schmid and a medium resistance horn) and are kind of st

Hi Joel, There are so many different manufacturers out there, it's very difficult, if not impossible, to recommend one particular horn over another without actually trying them. Having said this, Paxman does make a fine instrument. If you are not doing so already, it may be worth your whi

Joel, If you do find that your mechanics are fine, you might be just as well-served to add a different leadpipe to your horn. A lot can change in that small section of tubing. There are many fine shops that do custom leadpipe work, and it can almost make it feel like you're getting a new ho
