This is an interesting device. I see they also have an extension for playing
standing. What happens when you do the Geyer twist to get all the water in

Just a memory -- but George McCracken built a horn
similar to the one pictured on EBay.
Walter's right. I played one of those McCrackens at
the IHS in Athens, GA, several years ago. Was owned
by an MD and very nice guy (whose name I've forgotten)

I'm searching for a new mouthpiece, and thought I would direct my

I have a student who is a high school senior and not sure where he

He is an advanced player for a high school senior; first horn at his

I am greatly sorrowed to hear of the passing of Burt Hardin. When he was in

problems we encounter. Which is great
