Actually George had no viberto. Just a warm dark sound... Oh, and he
used almost no hand in the bell. Just sort of split the bell with his
hand. The hand did not touch either side of the bell.

Interesting to note that Yaeger studied at Eastman with Yegudkin
(teacher of John Barrows). Did his floating sound have a hint of
vibrato?

I was in the San Antonio Symphony in 1964, and the first horn....
George Yaeger.... play a five valve single Bb Alex. He had one of the
most beautiful sounds I have ever heard. As I understand it he had
always played a single Bb, and for me.... I had been playing a Conn
8d.... dispelled the believe that in order to have a big dark sound,
one had to play on a big horn and on the F side.
I will always remember George and how his sound simply floated out to
ever corner of the big hall. The orchestra played in the convention
center.

Please pardon my ignorance, but I live in the US, where triple horns

as possible, what really healthy-sounding, responsive four-valve Bb
horns are highly regarded in more enlightened parts of this planet?
-------
I was involved in a performance of the Schumann Konzertstueck in which
Gail Williams played the first part on a single Bb, possibly by Carl
Geyer. In my own experience, for smaller ensembles, most single Bb
horns work well, if you are skilled at playing them. Since their
construction is relatively simple, they don't have as many of the
tuning quirks that double horns do.
That said, I like the Yamaha YHR-321 about as well as any I've ever
played. For the last couple of years Bruce Tubbs (frugal
[7][email protected]) has been making very nice 5 valve Bb horns out of
Yamaha YHR-321's, YHR-322's and King 1158's. He had at least one for
sale on hornplayer.net, last time I looked.
