Hey guys. Am I the only one that obsesses over the weirdest things in the music world? For me on the biggest things that I contsantly discuss or analyze is the french horn (and John Williams' and Howard Shore's use of it in their music). Are there any other hornists out there, and if there are, just for giggles i would like to see what you guys answers to these questions are.
When working with a horn, which do you prefer?
Single (f or b-flat), double, or even the fabled double triggered horn
Silver (nickel plated) or brass
Farkas Model or not
removable bell or not
fave mouthpiece size and brand
fave horn brand
fave brand of slide grease and valve oil
do you use the student, intermediate, or professional level horn and mouthpiece
fave horn themes or songs
fave movie or modern classical horn composer(s)
overall experience level and what you like about playing this instrument
I am just seeing if there is anyone else out there that thinks about this stuff. thanks.
