As Beethoven no.7 is more or less a 2nd valve issue on the Bb-horn, it is necessary to have the 2nd valve tuned at best. The written g does not count in this symphony either. Did you ever hear about the right hand in the bell, what you can do with it ?
This is the better solution by far. Any lipping-up or lipping-down will destroy the tone quality, while right hand use in the bell, - subtle use of the hand, off course -, will not change the tonal quality. Farkas meant, that lipping-up creates a pinching sound, while lipping-down would create a rather relaxed tone. ####################################################################### Am 28.03.2010 um 23:15 schrieb valerie wells: > I remember reading and/or hearing from somewhere, someone that Philip Farkas > said that "lipping down" produces a better tone on an instrument than > "lipping up," so if you tune your instrument a little on the higher side, > you'll sound better overall than if you do it the other way.
