have played the 868 in Brass, the 668V in Nickel and the 668 II. They are all really good horns but do not measure up, in my opinion, to the original Custom series (861, 862 and 863). Respectfully Submitted, Scott Young From: "Richard V. West" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: T

Adam, I do not have much time today, so I jotted some miscellaneous thoughts for you 1. Blow out ALL your air during the rests and while preparing to perform. It feels unnatural the first few times you do this on stage, but it makes you take in 100% fresh air. Fresh air is better then the st

From now on when you play a horn quartet, know that you are participating in an ancient holy ritual. Instead of asking, "What shall we play next?" you can ask, "What shall we sacrifice next?" { David Goldberg: [EMAIL PROTECTED] } { Math Dept, Washtenaw Community College }

Steve, Some studies have demonstrated that wearing a necktie also increases intraocular pressure. What makes this insidous is not the amount of presure, but the fact that people wear them for 8 hours at a time. I imagine it is the same with high pressure wind instruments. Respectfully Submit

Carson, I am a player, not an acoustics person, so let me tell you what I know and what I guess. Hopefully someone else can clarify it for us. First, what I know: The hand in the bell depresses the final node of the wave length. This changes many of the acoustical properties of the entire wa
