[Hornlist] Single high E Flat Horns?

Here's something I thought about. I am currently working on Strauss 2 and I'm one of those players who uses a lot of B flat horn - almost to the point where I may get a single B flat just as a cheap back up horn in case I need it. I'm well aware that some notes are not readily available on

Hello Kit, You have me very curious about this. Did you freeze the pipe with the toffee inside it ? I had a bit of brass tubing about 12mm diameter and 40cm long, and I annealed it before starting (heat it until it glows dull red, then cool it). Then I drilled a shallow hole in a bit of wood

With the understanding that I have very limited knowledge about this, I'll observe that my Bb single with five valves is actually a horn in C with the fifth valve configured so that it stands in Bb. I'm pretty sure you could get the same thing but half an octave higher: a high F horn with a valve

Sorry to change the subject, but it was all caps. I have my copy of The French Horn by R. Morley Pegge here. Some notes on the Evolution of the Intrument and its Techniques is the subtitle on the title page inside. So we are all talking about one book, I think. I bought mine from a bookstore

[Hornlist] F/Bb Reversal

2009-03-26 Thread Wilbert Kimple
Walter's solution to this problem was to build a whole new linkage system for the thumb valve. As I recall it had three pivot points. One was to make the reversal and the others were to reduce the amount of movement needed on the thumb. Hey, it's been thirty years and I only saw it once.

Hi Kit, Right, I've obviously missed something here and completely and utterly misunderstood what you were saying - the last bit of this thread I looked at was about making horns from ice - I therefore thought you were advocating making them from toffee (and that you were currently working on

I talked to my repairman over the weekend, and he and I talked about how I oil my horn. Basically I was over oiling the bearings of the rotors, and in doing so the oil was covering the sides of the rotors and slowing everything down. He suggested that I rise out my rotors with rubbing alcohol

Joel, just to clarify, this means that what you've found works for you is to _not_ unscrew the caps on the rotor and apply oil there, but just to pull the slides and put oil in that way? I just want to make sure I understand what you're saying. I've also taken to oiling my valves this way and it

The 177 has a smaller bell throat and is considered to be a medium large horn, where the 179 is the large horn and has a larger bell throat. Walt Lewis --Original Message-- From: Ashley Grothe Sender: horn-bounces+lewhorn9=yahoo@music.memphis.edu To: Hornplayer net ReplyTo: The Horn

Steve, For the most part, the repairman said to leave the caps alone. Maybe once every 1 or 2 weeks put a drop under the caps just to keep the bearing lubricated. Since the oil should be thicker, it wont evaporate or move as fast as the light oil put through the slides. He also suggested I
