You can also use a factitious note. Finger it F12. It's there. If it's sharp, use F23. Factitious notes are supported by the harmonics, not the fundamental. Herb Foster --- Jerry Houston [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Marc Gelfo wrote: Also, I'm curious how they pull of things like the low E in

Actually, this is only part of the story, and a little bit off at that. As explained to me by Michel Garcin-Marrou (who was there): French orchestras were losing their recording contracts due to the uniqueness of their sound in the WW's and brass. The producers and conductors were

In reality though, the Vienna Philharmonic is an original instruments group in the truest sense. I've heard a lot of players in Vienna are using doubles and triples for security in the high register, but cannot substantiate this claim since I don't remember from whom I heard it or any
