[Hornlist] Using a Mirror

the mouthpiece, but I don't think that's what the well-wishing suggester meant. Also, I don't see how anybody can copy anything more than mouthpiece placement and possibly which muscles to use from seeing some clips on YouTube. Has anybody here actually benefited from this kind of advice? Donald Huang

[Hornlist] Re: Playing under a ceiling fan

Also, I'm not sure that sound is a physical substance that bounces off fans like water does. If it is, it will be affected by gravity and air resistance, and should fall to the ground unless well projected. (Ah, that's what's wrong with my playing!) I may be a little out of my league here, being

[Hornlist] Horn Solo in Beatles For No One

According to The Beatles - Complete Scores For No One is in B major with the horn solo going up to a concert g#. Interesting, considering the clip from the Give My Regards to Broad Street recording has a concert G, and the other recordings floating around come out as a Ab. I say this with roughly

Carlberg hypothesized: I believe it turns itself off automatically after a=20 certain period of time, otherwise the battery=20 surely would have run down. I'm rather sure that I remember reading that it turns off after 20 minutes. Donald Huang

[Hornlist] Re: Jonathan West got it right!

learned it was to drop the oil inside the removed slides, then push in the slides all the way and turning the horn so the oil would flow into the rotors without touching (hopefully) the slide grease. So far, my rotors haven't gummed up. Donald Huang ___ post

[Hornlist] Choosing Horns

Hi. I've got a bunch of horns (three to be exact) and I'm trying to determine which one suits me best, but I have no clue how to do this. Any suggestions on how to go about choosing one of the horns? Thanks a lot! Donald Huang ___ post: horn

[Hornlist] Air Stream

I basically believe that it's best for the stream to go straight down the mouthpiece, too, but I've been trying to change it and it hasn't been nearly as easy as I had hoped/imagined (though I just realized that until I get to around third space C, my lips don't overlap--they start overlapping

[Hornlist] Air Stream

Hi, I just noticed a few weeks ago when I used only a mouthpiece rim that my air stream goes just about straight down when I play above third-space C. I know that a lot of people's air streams aren't perfectly straight, but I think this might be a little too extreme--when buzz this high on the

[Hornlist] Unusual Response

According to Oscar Franz's Complete Method for the French Horn: The width of the mouthpiece is entirely dependent upon the formation of the lips. As a rule, thin lips demand a narrow, thick and fleshy ones a wide mouthpieces; a narrow mouthpiece is best adapted for the production of high
