Thanks, Sandra! Are horns with ascending valves used more commonly in Europe, then? Do a lot of professionals use them? The only ones that I've seen online is...

I remember one time in HS, I was playing 4th Horn in New World Symphony. Concert time, Horns 1-3 were a no-show... my orchestra director was really angry with...
Few players use this ingenious system for their everyday horn. I am one - but know of no other American player who does. Francis Orval was said to have...
I do now! Jason, you and I make two.out of.hundreds - thousands even. That's still a VERY small number. Perhaps you'd be willing to write a bit more about the...

I wore it once while performing in a recital at a horn camp (easier to carry than a tux!); sometimes I also wear it at "dress" rehearsals." Humor is good for...
Hi Sandra (et al.), The truth is, I got the horn used...sort of stumbled on it accidentally. I was looking for an Alexander 200 that I could afford (not being...
