    Probably not of any help, but I just thought it was interesting.  I was talking to a retired Detroit Symphony horn player today and he mentioned that the J series Giardinellis were the Jimmy Stagliano model. - Steve Mumford Klaus wrote: My mouthpiece since 1992 is a Giardinelli J4 with an

Quoting Klaus Smedegaard Bjerre: My questions are: Do the Houser horn rims match the threading of Giardinelli mouthpieces? Yes. I just put a post-Y2K Giardinelli C rim and a Giardinelli rim made when Bob Giardinelli answered the phone on a Houser JL cup, both with no problems. Unfortunat

The known concertos for high horn are in the keys of D, Eb, E, and F , the cantatas & arias or ensembles are written for horns in D, F, G, A mostly, but a few in Bb-alto & C-alto. That time back the horn players did not own the instruments. They belonged to the church. A horn was worth a year incom

Best way to do it, is a convincing tempo set by yourself to feel comfortable with, but in a way that it sounds SLOW. That´s the trick.. BTW at tempo 63 does not exist. All should be related with 60 or 12, like metronome 60, 66, 72, 84, 90, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144. Does the clock have 55 seconds or 6

You might want to take a look at my JS rim (http://osmun.com/OsmunMPC/Osmun_Horn_Rims.html). It's not on the separate rim price list on the store page since I normally only sell it as part of the Stagliano replica mouthpiece but it is available as a rim only. Bob Osmun www.osmun.com Klaus S

Thanks for the Stork reference, Martin! I was aware about Stork carrying on the Giardinelli knowledge, and I never doubted their level of competence. However the Stork site reveals no horn rims with an aperture larger than 18mm. And I see no mentioning of stainless steel rims. My plan was to

Hello Klaus, **I do not receive compensation for this endorsement.** While I have no experience with Houser mouthpieces, I suggest you contact John Stork (www.storkcustom.com) for your mouthpiece issues. He apprenticed at Giardinelli's, and is very knowledgeable about all their models, bot

My mouthpiece since 1992 is a Giardinelli J4 with an 18mm screw rim which is narrow, flat, and has a sharp inner edge. I have worked on the throat and on the backbore. It fits my inset embouchure, and the only thing worrying me is the rim becoming worn. >From another context I learned about
