There is no simple answer to this question. As an amateur player, I find that certain horns on which I sound _better_ are, in the long run, _worse_ for me because, over time, I stop doing something (I don't know exactly what) in my playing that I clearly need to do. The horn I play regularly feels harder for me to get a good sound from, but it's the right kind of difficulty and, on it, I have continued to improve.
There will be certain horns that a player will want to play in some circumstances but not others, and that isn't something unique to the French Horn. And there will be players who prefer to play one instrument for everything, and so it goes. Just my opinion, your mileage may vary. -S- On Sun, Apr 24, 2011 at 1:07 PM, Christopher Mudd <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello all! > When players talk about a horn that wasn't the right horn for them..... > > > What did you experience playing a horn that just wasn't a good fit for you? > > > Even if it was a fine instrument. > > > Chris > _______________________________________________ > post: [email protected] > unsubscribe or set options at > https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/steve.freides%40gmail.com > _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
