[Hornlist] More mouthpieces

2004-12-20 Thread Karl W. Feinauer
What are some good mouthpieces to buy? Currently, I use a Bach 7, which is good for my tone, but I am starting to think of purchasing a new mouthpiece, maybe something strong in the upper register. ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe or set options

[Hornlist] Mouthpiece Needed

2004-12-20 Thread Wilbert Kimple
Anyone out there have an older MY 15 mouthpiece for sale? Need one immediately. The older ones had a slightly smaller shaft, which I need for one of my European horns. The current ones don't fit quite right. Thanks. Wilbert in SC mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is this the mouthpiece you're talking about? http://1800usaband.com/htmls/itementryview.asp?itementryid=6121 I'd be happy to give that one a try at some point in the future. I tend, as I mentioned, to a flutie sort of sound although that is gradually diminishing as time goes by. Question - do

I would guess that most people prefer gold plated rims with a wet embouchure, but I actually very much prefer silver. I have soft and luxurious lips that when coupled with a gold rim gives me a playing surface so slick that I can hardly set my embouchure. I originally ordered my mouthpiece with

Yes. The gold plated rim is not any particular advantage unless you are allergic to silver. some folk are. They are a little more slippery on the lip than silver. I don't use a wet embouchure. Current prices are quite low from Giardinelli.com. Paul Mansur On Monday, December 20, 2004,

That's a very individual thing and depends on your mouth and lip structure. If you ask anyone, it should be your teacher. I myself find that that a Vincent Bach 3 gives me a better low range AND better high range. Go figure. Herb Foster --- Karl W. Feinauer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What are

There is no mouthpiece, which is strong in the high register. The player must do it. Well, admitted, there are some tiny spucknapf mouthpieces with a very tight bore. You can get the stratospheres with them, but how about the tone ? It is mere squeaking nothing else. A bore of 5 mms or just

Hi, In a couple of weeks I am playing an arrangement for Wind Band of Orchestral Suite of Bernsteins West Side Story. From Measure 7 or 8 he writes an number of measures muted. But there is only a little time to get the mute in. I wonder: Did Berntein really want to have a muted horn or did he

Hi Paul: Look up the Concerto for Two Horns by Francesco Barsanti (1690-1772). A little later than the Vivaldi pieces, much more of a Handelian flavor. The music should be available; I played it many years ago with a college orchestra. It was also recorded (on LP) at least once, as far as I know.
