Hi Valerie Wells,
I tried to contact you off-list but my email was not accepted at your msn
address. I have several questions regarding Jeff Smiley's BE which I purchased
6 months ago. How may I contact you?
Sincerely,
Melvin Baldwin
I won't attempt to give any specific mpc recommendations, but I think you
should keep this criteria in mind...
1) The sound should be that of a conventional French Horn, not that of a
trumpet, trombone, or euphonium.
2) Intonation, articulation, and a good 'playable range' are much more
Hi Luke,
Happy New Year - I hope your head is feeling better than mine is! (and I
still don't know where my horn is!)
Cheers,
Lawrence

It's probably thieving or taking drugs or playing Johann Strauss.

That's one vice I'm giving up for new years! Not the drugs or
thieving but the J. Strauss!!!

Lawrence,
Happy New Year to you too! My horn is right here. I'm thinking about
getting a new mouthpiece.

I believe a new mouth would help me more than a new mouthpiece sigh.

I have a mouthpiece problem too. Mine is developing heavy deposits of missed
notes, so I think I'll be in need of a new one soon.
Happy New Year everybody!!

I've found that if I place my lips against a full but opened bottle of
wine about 10 minutes before playing and really stay self-disciplined
about removing it's contents, I'm a much better player in the ensuing
session. Or at least **I** tend to think so. I do so enjoy the
sessions more -

Joe,
Just a quick one from me. I have been away from my computer for some time and
didn't have time to read all the mouthpiece replies to you. BUT:
How the shaft of the mouthpiece fits into the lead-pipe is critical
I have two Alexanders, and I use the exact same mouthpiece for both
Since Milton brought up the bore problem, I suggest you check with Tom Greer at
his mouthpiece company, MooseWood. He will take time to make sure the taper is
correct for your new 8D. I know there has to be a bunch of us playing on
MooseWood's.

Actually Tom and Moosewood solved the problem for me. I made a trip to Phoenix
so that he could fit the shank perfectly.
I cannot believe that I spent so many years as a pro without knowing this
little trick.

My good friend has just called me and he has had his horn stolen out of his car
in the West Village New York City tonight. He has asked me to write this email.
It is a Rauch Model 1, fixed bell in a fixed bell black cordura Marcus Bona

The problem is a problem of standards similar to the problem of
