The saying I think is "same music, same horn, same person"......The idea being that only the context of what we are playing changes. Whether you're playing at home in your practice space, or on stage at a big concert, or playing an audition, those three variables don't change. It's all about mental approach and confidence- You're playing the same notes on the same horn with the same person behind it. if you can do it well at home in the practice room, you can do it anywhere else you happen to be if you can release yourself from the added burden of thinking too much about the context of the momemt.
"same music, same horn, same dude!"

Josef Lidl makes a similar posthorn. It's a slightly tighter wrap but still pitched
in Bb, right hand drive for trumpeters (it's NOT a piccolo french horn as some
folks have called it), and has a very unique, warm sound that carries quite
nicely through the orchestra. I use a Bach 1B trumpet piece. I'd love to try a
Tilz piece but finding anyone that carries them is next to impossible. My Lidl
is on the left and the Furst Pless is on the right.
