Re: [Hornlist] Tchaik 5

Catherine, play it like a love song, very relqxed but full of love. Do not power !! Please. If you seem to be not loud enough, well, ask the conductor to keep the string sound at a real piano level. Do breath enough but not too deep, just normal. Divide the solo into phrases if you were

[Hornlist] Elkhart Conn 8d or Yamaha 667V or Alexander 103

I'm trying to decide on which horn I'll be purchasing in the near future and was wondering what all of your opinions are on these particular horns. I know they are about as opposite as you can get, but I've played on newer Conn 8Ds and a Yamaha 867(similar to 667V), and liked how they both

[Hornlist] Good Non-Conns

Hello, Partially with the advice of my teacher, I am considering purchasing a new horn -- My current Conn 8D really isn't cutting it. What horns do you all recommend that have a big and mellow, yet clear sound, but play well -- I'm looking for something with a bit more resistance than my

[Hornlist] Eastman horn - a review

Hello Listers, I recently purchased a Paul Eastman horn from an E-bay seller. I paid $808 including shipping. I spent a week with Walt Lawson and Co. earlier in August working on various projects, one of which was to analyze the Chinese made instrument. Here is a review. We were first

RE: [Hornlist] Eastman horn - a review

About the Paul Eastman horn's valve tolerance, Kendall wrote ... they were at .003, about the same as Holton. ... Is that a radial measurement? At what tolerance does a valve's inability to seal (with a film of a 'normal' oil) become problematic? Russ Smiley (an engineer, but not a machinist)

Re: [Hornlist] Ultrasonic cleaning

I absolutely believe in ultrasonic cleaners. Having worked in two different repair shops, I've seen the difference between a traditional chem cleaning and ultrasonic cleaning. Obviously, different shops will use thier own mix of chemicals (not actually needed for the cleaning of the horn;

[Hornlist] Valve Cleaning Class

I'm giving a short valve cleaning class at my university here in two weeks, and since I'm not sure how big the room/attendence is going to be I was going to go down to Kinko's and see if I can get a few valve diagrams blown up and pasted on the wall behind me to point to in order to explain

Re: [Hornlist] Ultrasonic cleaning

Well I ultrasonically clean my valves every few weeks. I've had great experience with it, and I love the job it does. For the horn itself, if you rinse it out with a little soap and water every month, generally you'll never get any green buildup inside or dirt accumulating in the leadpipe.

Re: [Hornlist] Ultrasonic cleaning

Good point! It's actually rather fun to watch the valves on the first cycle. It is amazing indeed, and almost hypnotic to watch the oil and dirt stream and bubble off of the valves. -William In a message dated 9/7/2004 9:36:48 PM Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I absolutely
