Your recollection of the album cover is spot on. My parents had the
record (still do), and the cover, as much as the record itself, gave an
illegal substance aura to the whole thing. My father in law was a
mathematician and knew Lehrer, and he told me that the earliest songs

There is a very nice piece by Florent Schmitt, Lied et Scherzo, for (I
think) double wind quintet, with one of the horns having a solo role.
It is published (again, from memory) Durand.

As I recall, Professor Schmutzig pioneered this method many years ago. Didn't

The Horn Quartets by Bedrich Weber, with Stefek and CPO colleagues, are
gorgeous examples of the Czech school of horn playing, with beautiful
cantabile playing in the slow movements. They were released on
Supraphon in vinyl, but I do not know if they have been reissued in CD
format. It is also
Hard to say, without examining the instrument, whether this horn was
originally made in this form or whether later modifications resulted in
it becoming a descant F horn. I am sure that some players in Vienna
will have ideas about the history of this type of horn and the
circumstances of its

This is an excellent book, written by a player/horn historian who had a
working understanding of the natural horn and a good collection of
instruments that are now (I believe) in the Bate Collection in Oxford
and the Horniman Museum in London. As the title indicates, there is a
detailed
Thanks, Dick, this is very interesting history. By any chance have you come
across a player by the name of Bernard Mott. He played in Sousa's band and
then was principal horn in the Syracuse Symphony for many years. He was my
first teacher in the 1950s and a wonderful player and musician.
Any idea of the maker of Eric Hauser's horn? Looks to me like a King, based
on an instrument that my first teacher played, but I am not certain.

Perhaps because all of the horns you mention either were no longer
being produced or were in very limited production. Alexander has been a
popular horn in Japan, and Yamaha may have not wanted to go head to
head with an active maker, though it would be interesting to compare an

Agree about the loose slide theory, based on two horns that I use, one
with loose slides and the other with tight slides. The former requires
more frequent applications of slide grease than the latter.
Presumably, the valve oil is able to seep over the sliding surface and
decompose the slide

I have had the same experience but have always concluded that anything

the valves. A petroleum chemist needs to advise us all, or perhaps the
