Hello, Horn List.
My Thanks to a number of you, who gave clear
advice about the Ranges for my 6 Horns in my
present orchestral work! In this work I'm using
Woodwinds in Threes, one Timpanist, one Harp,
3 Percussionists, Strings and my Brasses are:
6 Horns,
3 Trumpets,
Euphonium and
Tuba.
Just about any trill can be made all over the range of the horn. Only it is not
all trills, which
are equally easy.
Trills across two partial will be OK as lip trills in the upper register for
people inclined to
the natural horn, but they are not advisable in any register, if there is any
The following item came to me with a request that it be sent on to the horn

For half-step trills: As low as you want, as long as the fingering for
the trill involves nothing more than wiggling the second finger. That
means the following trills in

Can anyone provide any information on the taper that Alexander use for

Hi Tim,
Alexander mouthpieces have a 1 degree taper on their shanks
whereas most other mouthpiece makers have adopted the Morse 0 taper
which is just shy of 1.5 degrees, so
The replies on list to your question are very accurate and I reinforce
the sentiment:
It totally depends on the fingering combo of the trill and whether I
have to cross partials. I think Klaus puts it best in his post (at
least, that is the one that stated it the most accurately and fully, in
Maybe this kind of silliness goes on all over Ebay but I am always amused by
horn ads that read like some of the current Selman's do.
Selman...NOT A CHEAPIE!!. (buy it now $159.00)
OK... at what price Would a Selman be a Cheapie??? $158???
The other gag line is:
Maybe singing and solfege to learn notes, but this is how to learn rhythm:

I hope that the sound is coordinated with the action - I saw it come out

Dear List,
I am hoping you more experienced players out there can give me some
advice and perhaps some perspective. Two years ago I came back from a two
year hiatus away from the horn, and it has been a very hard road to travel
back to proficiency. I am currently in my second semester of
Practice, practice, practice.
Range comes from endurance.

hello-
I too have had a lot of trouble with endurance for all of the time that I've
played Horn seriously, so I guess I should talk like an expert on this subject.
But I have, however, recently (since this fall) been able to improve my
endurance and high range significantly, and I do believe
Explain to them why you changed the note. This will give you
a bonus surely (if you play it right).

Hi Tyler,
It's true that endurance does come with practice. Having said this,
however, intelligent practice helps even more.
I'll assume you already have a solid embouchure set up. With this in
mind, I suggest you secure a copy of Joseph Singer's fine book of
studies entitled Embouchure
