What Long Call do you have ? The one with three separate signals or the
one with more signals, all off them separated by fermatas, wher Fermata
means a hold.

If the Long Call you have consists of just three signals, it is the
Short Call. The Short Call & some further similar Short Calls are from
Goetterdaemmerung (Twilight of Gods) first & third act, while the Long
Call is from the 2nd act of Siegfried, just 34 or 36 minutes after the
beginning, depending on the conductors tempi.

The original Short Call is from Siegfried�s Rhine Journey, his boat
journey.

When cutting the bell of a horn, one has to consider, that the perfect
job would require desoldering of the whole bell part perhaps, so the
screw upper  part (mother) can be slid over from the smaller end to the
cut point & solder there, then to cut the bell. The lower screw part
(father) is attached easily on the bell.

This is the perfect but cost effective method.

But, a high classified repair man can cut the bell without desoldering
it. But this is a quite tricky operation & rarely performed perfectly
even by the specialists. After cutting, they have to squeeze the main
branch into the screw (mother), adapt it to fit inside & solder. The
rest of the process is the same as in the other method.

There is a third way: the screw can be cut in half and soldered on the
bell (mother), so the bell can be cut right there along the screw. I
have not seen that process, but it seems to be possible.

Subject: [Hornlist] Short Call


What is the short call? I have the long call, but have no idea where the
short call is located. Also, I have a Holton H179 horn, and I am
considering getting it made into a screw-bell horn, in essence, making
it a H279. Anyone have any ideas on who can do a good job on this
located in or around Tennessee?
