We are going to settle for a 180, a 178 or a YHR667, with slight preference for
the Yamaha. We have time. If she blossoms like I think she will, she will
outgrow it in two years.
Keep you eyes peeled if you can for one of those. I'd much prefer to buy a horn
form you than from anyone else.
Correction...The orchestral parts are rental only. I believe there is a mini
score available for purchase and the solo part with piano reduction from
Boosey. Currently Boosey is distributed through Hal Leonard if your music
store has trouble finding them.

If it were that easy to design a horn that played in tune, everyone would be
doing it!

The hose is not the thing that is playing octaves. Your embouchure is

Hi all,
I'd like to also recommend the hand position advocated in this article:

I find that it has the advantage of being the same, sitting or
standing, and is very easy to change to stopped horn. In addition,
it makes you sound darker
[Q] Tim wrote... IMO, the ideal hand position is the Chambers hand position
(palm upwards). It lets you here your 'core' sound (Tony Halstead's words)..
Also..it's true when people say you sound less bright in a hall as a horn
