Oh, I meant to ask if you knew the maker 'Ganter'? I recently tried out a Ganter double made in the early 1980s that I loved, but I didn't have the money for it at the time. Also, it looked very similar to the Pizka horn in terms of the mechanical linkages and mother of pearl valve post 'screws'. Ken Pope said there were only two of them that he knew of, so maybe you knew something about them?

Yes, William, IMSL is a good source, but it includes all the misprintings, and one has the hassle of putting all the outprints together before playing instead of investing in ones own library. Yes, I agree, it is lost time to start beginners with "the fingerings" and it is wrong, as they will stick on the fingering method for lifetime, wasting valuable time, and not to talk about their future troubles with transposing etc. ########################################################### Am 15.08.2011 um 17:08 schrieb valkh...@aol.com: > > > > That's the one, although it's also available on the International Music Score Library I believe (which is a wonderful resource for browsing literature and looking at orchestral scores). > > I don't believe in teaching beginners (or students) 'the fingerings' and expect them to learn.
