| Re: Howdy For some reason it's too long ago to recall I switched from trumpet to French horn in junior high. After high school I put away all brass instruments and only picked one up 40 years later. By this time every molecule in my body has been replaced multiple times. The brain still remembers some things, the fingers some things (fewer), and the chops pretend they never encountered a mouthpiece before, especially one of these flat trumpet things. On the other hand, being a novice who can't be expected to know anything (ornamentation, for example) is really kind of fun.
Do you plan to return to The Horn again? Jean Baptiste makes a "junior French horn" for about $200 that luckily seems to be out of stock everywhere right now - I know it has to be junk, but hope springs eternal... |
