Re: [Hornlist] NBC horn player under Toscanini 1948

Hans: I don't know the video, but I would hazard a guess that it icluded at least one of the Berv brothers. Arthur Berv, Harry Berv, and Jack Berv are all listed as having played with the NBC symphony sometime during period 1937-1954. Richard in Seattle hans.pi...@t-online.de wrote: Hello

Hans, Arthur Berv is definitely the first player. Clearly, the second is one of his brothers, Jack or Harry, most likely Harry, though I don't have the documentation of who played what part in front of me at the moment. The video I just pulled up on Youtube actually had the date of December 1948,

These four youth will be playing the Konzertstucke in far more ideal conditions this Sunday March 8 in the Myerson Symphony Center. Dallas (tickets are $8-$30) I am personally blown away by the audacity of it all. I talked with Dennis Houghton a couple of weeks ago owner of Houghton horns in

Hi William! I did enjoy the conversation that was tossed around, though I should say, I really intended to (and probably will) reply to Kendall a little more but have been on location recording gigs for about the past 2 weeks straight so haven't had the time (or at least not the patience to try

Hi Carl - I've had the opportunity to play around with the (yet to be released) version of Celemony that works on complex chords. It does a fantastic job on *some* material. Particularly, it works on a mix where there a few voices. When you get to even a chamber orchestra or small ensemble

I found a list of people who played with the NBC here: http://www.classicalrecordings.org/znbc/nbcplayers.html That's probably Arthur and Jack in the video, Harry played 3rd.  While you're in the neighborhood, check out the Midsummer Night's Dream with Toscanini, Bruno Jaenecke on our

[Hornlist] Slide Grease

Any suggestions for a long lasting slide grease.? I have tried gun grease; Selmer Slide/Cork Grease; GOO Tuning valve slide lube; Schilke Slide Grease w lanolin; all Hetman types; STP. Nothing lasts more than a week w the Holton Rotary valve oil I use. Thanks,

RE: [Hornlist] Slide Grease

I have had the same experience but have always concluded that anything that lasted longer would have undesirable properties that would gum up the valves. A petroleum chemist needs to advise us all, or perhaps the solution is to have some sort of permanent coatings on slides and receivers so that

You may be using too much rotary oil. Is that because your valves are sticking? They may need to be lapped. Loren Mayhew, Owner Computer Intelligence LLC, dba CI Music  c...@mayhews.us www.mayhews.us/CI/Finke 001 (520) 289-0700 -Original Message- From:

Re: [Hornlist] Slide Grease

I normally use hetman 7P, but on a whim I recently decided to try the hetman 8 and was plesantly surprised. I apply the 7P   with a little brush and it seems to distribute the lubricant more thoroughly and lasts longer.  Nelson R. Lawson French Horn performer, clinician, Music education

Re: [Hornlist] Slide Grease

Mark, This may be more information than you had in mind but I couldn't resist. In my opinion, it is probably worthwhile to spend 20 minutes or so once a week to oil and grease your horn. Do it while you watch some mindless thing on TV for amusement. I have always done this and my 42 year old

Thank you. Nice to find Bruno Jaenicke with Mendelssohns Nocturno. Nice vibrato but quite fast tempo. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: horn-bounces+hans=pizka...@music.memphis.edu

AW: [Hornlist] Slide Grease

Your problem, Mark, is it that you oil the valves too often. If the horn is played every day, the moist a minimum of fat (oil, grease, etc.) creates a slippery emulsion, which is enough to lubricate the valves. The thickness of this emulsion is about 4 - 5 microns. Guess how much fat is needed
