They play their pumpenhorns for everything. You should listen to the new CD "Vienna Horns" & watch out for Thomas Joebstl´s playing. It beats everybody, really. - Very few times they use a double or a descant for extreme pieces, but i have not seen them using it recently. Very few times means really very very few times a year, not a month or week. ============================================================ =====================================================

I recently checked out the horn section listing for the Vienna Phil and this is what I came up with: Wolfgang Tomböck, - 1st horn (Jungwirth) Ronald Janezic, - 1st horn (Yamaha) Lars Michael Stransky, - 1st horn (Wiener Produktiv-Genossenschaft) Willibald Janezic, - 2nd horn (Yamaha) Volker Altmann, - 2nd horn (Yamaha) Thomas Jöbstl, - 2nd horn (Yamaha) Günter Högner, - 3rd horn (Yamaha) Wolfgang Vladar, - 3rd horn (Jungwirth) Roland Horvath, - 4th horn (Jungwirth) Friedrich Pfeiffer, - 4th horn (Jungwirth) What I was wondering, was what model of Yamaha they mainly play on, and also, for which works do they typically use the Vienna horn for and when do they switch to the double/triple or whichever they use? I'm not too familiar with what they play but would love to hear some info on what they use and when. I've been comparing a lot of the U.S. orchestra sounds(Chicago, Boston, New York, San Fran) to those of Europe (Berlin Phil, Vienna Phil, London Symphony/Phil, etc...). I find it interesting to hear about what horns different orchestras play on to produce the distinct and different types of horn sounds that they do. Well if anyone is of any help, please post.
