Good Day to the List:
We have a new music shop in town, announcing in the local press that they
offer a complete repair workshop, including a bathtub in which instruments
will be totally immersed for cleaning with chemicals. The article continues

Re. the current dialogue on lubricants, I've just bought a used horn that I'm
extremely pleased with. However, all the slides were stuck solid. Our

Heather-re. your conductor issues...You're a good section working for a
conductor who's out of his period of expertise. He feels the horns 'don't sound
right...are playing wrong notes.' It must have felt like a low blow that he
went to your teacher with these concerns.Even lower if he's ignoring

Christine- I'd advise dressing smart rather than casual, in case you are asked
to play in front of the screen. Dress as you would for a job interview outside
the music profession- a look that says you're smart, bright and worth the

Don't just count the empty
Good day to the List: I'm mailing with respect to a Paxman 20L horn, described
as two years old, that was just sold on Ebay. The UK seller appeared to have
little technical knowledge, and an enquiry concerning the horn was poorly
answered . I called Paxman's on this one, and the instrument was s

A horn player meets a girl at a party, and invites her up to his apartment

manoevres her into the bedroom. By the side of his bed there is a beautiful
french horn.
'Oh, wow!' says the girl;'what a beautiful instrument!'

It was my pleasure recently to take part in a military Tattoo in Bermuda to
celebrate the 500th anniversary of the discovery of the Island. A great
occasion, and of course it took place outdoors. As the massed bands started
into 1812 Overture, the sky opened and warm salt rain came down with suc

You could try the gadgets that Osmun Brass sells for about $11. They are solid
rubber with a small slit that fits the end of the spatula. Very comfortable,
and give fine fingertip control.

I shared this correspondent's problems to the extent that I grew a bone spur on
my finger. It was exacerbated by the fact that I have a very heavy horn.
A horn strap was a help, but felt constricting and clumsy.The duck's foot and

Thank you for your responses concerning this work-
I have now called every music shop between Bermuda and Boston-no luck, and we
don't have a music library here on the Island-more the pity.

Does anyone know where I can get parts for Gordon Jacob's suite 'Old Wine in
New Bottles'?

Any information would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks for an interesting item on the List. I think this idea (using a Silent
