I particularly enjoy Fred,, an unusual fingering I have

Even though having played for 35 years, I'm still learning, too. However,
there are a few variables that often end up driving me crazy but need to be
considered...were you sitting close to him while he played or were you out
in the seats. Was his Paxman yellow or gold brass, or was it made of
I'd grab it, but maybe that's just me. Several things in favor of that
decision...your teacher is the seller - assume you trust and respect this
person, and he/she thinks well of you. A REALLY good price on a 500k 8D can
be considered an investment - if you find the horn does not work for you,
I'm guessing the unison horn line from Shosta. 5th, 1st mvmt, but of course,
that is not classical if you are talking about the period.

I used to play a Yamaha 862 (kruspe-wrap custom), and the valves were
perfectly fitted. That was their custom line, however. But I have heard
that Yamaha has a reputation for making very good valves, and if they are
somewhat tightly fitted it stands to reason that they would take more oil.
Now we know why he was 'first call' - he always brought along his calloused
table on which to place his horn. The rest of the table surface could be
used by the other players for chips and beer... I'm sure he became a very
popular guy.

As I recall, over a year ago Bob Ward commented on this situation. What I
think I remember is that this is due to both their not having hired a perm
principal and that the 2nd horn was on sabbatical, so everyone moved up on
an 'acting' basis. Guess the 2nd (forgotten her name) is still away...
