What insight, Gretchen! We should take your response to heart. If you haven't read it, do so! But what does that do for those of us that are mature adults (not...
To be honest, the best all around horn you could get would be a conn 8d. everyone's got different opinions on them, but if you are a student with minimal...

Hi bunch, A few words about what horn is the "best" horn: It's COMPLETELY subjective. AND the same brand and model ( like the 8D ) varies from individual...

I think there's a 500 pound gorilla in the room here named "ego". It's not that experienced, accomplished players can't play in tune together, they may...

Although I am not a frequent contributor to this forum, I thought I would chime in as another person who attended the Southeast Horn Workshop over the weekend....
Hi, I agree with the 8D being a kiss of death at certain places. One of my friends recently auditioned at a big name school with a Schmid horn and a (to my...

One thing also to consider is that buying an expensive horn in high school is not always the best idea. I say this because one may find that as soon as they ...
It appears, as the norm on this site (latley at least) that the Conn 8D takes a fair amount of a hit by players. Essentially as Farkas himslef said (forgive...
Hello, I'm looking for practice mute, but I couldn't find much reviews on them. Please share your experiences on various practice mutes: which you find good,...
Steve, I don't disagree that out of tune is a problem. I think it is unfair to imply that the guys in question can't play in tune, don't care and/or don't know...

It's absolutely imperative to play in the center of the pitch no matter what part one has. It's also imperative to listen to the other players around you and...
... and it's the music that speaks for itself and that's what audiences want to hear. As horn players, we need to get over this thinking that the audience will...
Some of the best advice I have ever read or heard is found in the Book "The Inner Game of Music" by Barry Green with Timothy Gallwey. The book gives lots of...
Mike, I want to make sure I understand what you mean (below from your earlier posting). How do you make the 'necessary adjustments' while still playing in the ...
... Hi, Let me take a stab at this, if I may... Think of each pitch as having "width." As I'm sure we all know, it is possible to lip a given pitch up or down...

What insightful input from the list! Keep'em coming! Now, as to Nathan's 500 pound gorilla; I'm almost on board with this except for one thing: I don't...
Gary pretty much said it right here, Jay. What I do to make necessary adjustments is to use my lip. I just move it slightly when needed and sometimes I use the...
