MY 25-year-old GANTER DOUBLE HORN. A descant Bb/high-F does not help much. Just for the high d3 e3 ? No, if you don't have these notes on the Bb-side, better not to try to play this piece. If one plays a lot on the F-side, even in op.86, - and it is possible, then the Bb-side (the trigger) will

It is Rheinfahrt not Rhinefart. If you see the original title as is Rheinfahrt, it comes from fahren not furzen. Das Schiff (Nachen) faehrt auf dem Rhein. In English, the title is translated to Rhine Journey, again no fart implemented. But visit my www.pizka.de/LongCall1.htm scroll down until

When do mini-balls break ??? Normal (average) use, NEVER. I have mini-balls even on my oldest Ganter horn in use. No wear, no maintenance, never had any problem. Valve action super smooth super fast light. The horn is in use since 1978. Yeah, yeah, I know why problems come up: Fingers

Have you ever played Bruckner no.4 on first chair ? Your concentration is anywhere else than on your strings, specially if you are a very young player without the later acquired concert routine (no matter, having the set of strings ready in the horn case, the screwdriver, etc. You will sweat

Very interesting project, but keep in mind that e.g. Mozart did not exceed the 12th partial in the highest pitch (Bb-alto) then. Interesting might be, that the shorter the horn the less side frequencies or harmony tones are sounding together with the main pitch. The more harmony tones sound

The word in question is to be spelt as Ausfahrt, the h after the vowel prolonging the vowel, so sorry, William: Nix is mit fhart ! Nix mit Wortspass (pun) ! And I have never heard anything similar to (if at all if corrected) Ausfahrt Technik. And fart converts to furz in German. If you pronounce

Steve, it was the school horn, which has not been oiled since August, not the horn he plays most of the time. But even not oiling a horn for several months will not create that much corrosion for that (well described) procedure. Washing through the horn carefully re-oil it, will help for sure.

Misspelled. It is Wimpassing not Windpassing. But there is also Windhaag twice; but Bavaria has better: Tuntenhausen, Busendorf or just accross the Czech Border : As or Asch. The inhabitants are lucky that the letter r is missing. - Just a discussion during the first years of the 12 years Reich.
