Well, that's it in a nutshell, isn't it. Playing the French Horn is
all about the we desire.
A couple of years ago, when my son was still playing both French Horn

Re: Barry Tuckwell's so-called cheater horns, he owned a great variety of
instruments, and he could tell you, himself, what he recorded on what.
After his (first) retirement in 1997 he asked us to sell most of his
remaining collection of horns, and he provided a discography on each one of
them.

You may disagree with this statement completely, but it is important to
consider two of your own statements.
The first is:

I believe that Kavalovski used a Paxman Bb/bb horn for much of the repertoire
in his first couple of seasons as principal in Boston. He may have even won

That particular horn is on Hornplayer.net right now...

I think that's actually a shame as far as trumpet playing goes (and I was a
former trumpet player). For years and years I've heard this sort of
Americanized sound that I just can no longer stand. Yet in Europe (esp. in
Germany) a sound is cultivated that to me is the ideal trumpet sound. To
As Packard Motorcar used to say "Ask the man who owns one". I think you'll
have a hard time arguing with Paul on this one.

Perfect intonation remains perfect intonation. We at the horn, we are used
to correct pitches by embouchure, as you do on the trumpet, but we also
correct the pitch by using the right hand in the bell, which you cannot do.
So it does not matter playing Bb or F or mixed (on any double) or even F/Bb

Hey folks, you seem all not having any idea about these baroque époque & the
horn pieces of that time, nor about the playing technique of that period.
The high f3 written for the E-flat horn was a regular note for any "high
horn player", just a normal peak note. And it was much easier reachable tha
Robson, did they have another chance on the baroque trumpets than using lip
trills ? As the was no valve on these long trumpets, they had to use their
lips. Clever

Is there any other horn player that record Neruda on the original octave?
I'm saying that because once I listened a CD that was recorded 1 octave
lower than what Ifor James played.
