The dimensions for the on-boad-case are regulated

problem. Non cut bell cases , well, it depends on the

Good day to the List: I'm mailing with respect to a Paxman 20L horn, described
as two years old, that was just sold on Ebay. The UK seller appeared to have
little technical knowledge, and an enquiry concerning the horn was poorly
answered . I called Paxman's on this one, and the instrument was
Well, for starters it's missing the F leadpipe insert and/or the Bb bit
that fits into the receiver. The worst part, however, is how badly the
throat section is flattened. A real (and undoubtedly expensive)
challenge to restore to playing condition, if at all.

As far as style goes, it's related to the level of enjoyment presented
as well as how many pieces must be sliced from the pie. 'Drop outs', as
you seem to be describing them (certainly not failures if they are
making more than a professor), are usually those who are spending

This is just a guess, but perhaps this notation is for when the
particular aria is performed as a bleeding chunk on a concert program?
Assuming that horns 3 and 4 are the primary parts for this aria, it
could then be performed by a smaller orchestra (2 horns)?

To everyone who offer resources, thanks. Not only did I get a place to
order the music, I got several others places to seek out sheet music.

They are not, be sure. If the orchestra would be a small
orchestra, they would have horn 1 2 but not horn 3 4.

This horn is a true example of the Viennese horns in the
style of Josef Felix Riedl (Vienna), but it is badly damaged
the starting price is really a fantasy price. And it is
not a rotary horn as it has pumpen-valves.
You can also fix the bearing plate, by first removing it
setting it in properly (there are marking which must be
aligned. To set it right flat, get a thin but strong plastic
tube, get it cut flat, put it at the bearing plate so it
covers the niple, set the plate in with two light hammer

two two horn sections. It would be proper to cover parts one and three
