Jonathan- I believe you have totally hit the nail on the head. As I mentioned to Tina in the post I just made, I hesitate on some passages out of fear I will...
Yes, I do slow down on difficult passages until I can get it going at tempo. Your suggestions is a very good one. Had one really frustrating passage in a piece...
Slowing down as opposed to practicing slowly lets our body know that it is okay to slow down when the music gets hard. Practice the whole of whatever it is...

Hi! My trumpet is about to sell maybe. (I have two supposedly serious buyers coming to check out my trumpet tonight.) I looked in my local classifieds for a...
Continue to practice daily, get any kind of playing job or position in an ensemble. I'll be 80 Jan.18th and I feel no age effects other then memory (although I...

When I have one of those senior moments (I'm 66; I was a war baby), I memorize a poem or song lyrics. I guess you could say it jump starts my thought...
I don't think I am probably as good at it, as Martin is, but I do agree with many of the things written lately. Playing everyday is a lot easier then trying...
A friend of mine recently bought an old King silver double; it didn't have any model number on it. I have no idea if it is the same model as the one you are...
Hi Marty, Congratulations on your getting ready to join the hornlist's octogenarian club. We'll be glad to welcome you into our somewhat exclusive...

Here is true story for you MaryAnn. During the middle of the 1960/61I auditioned for the Pittsburgh Symphony for Alternate Principal and Third position on a...
King instruments are usually good quality (King is a major maker of American-made instruments), but you need to inspect the horn carefully for dents, broken...
Ed, is there such a club? You know I started (requested) "the over 50 ensemble" for the IHS meetings. Because of personal problems have not been able to go....
Christine: Judging by the case and the engraving, this is definitely a 70's Eroica, and depending on the condition and playing quality might be worth $800. I...
It looks like King Eroica. The Eroica was a George McCracken design. About 1978 or 79 there was a change in leadpipe design which resulted in it becoming an...
Marty, No, Marty, I just made up the "octogenerian club." I don’t know if there would be enough of us to get an ensemble together. Perhaps the best we...

Christine- I would agree this looks like King Eroica. I am somewhat familiar with Kings as I play one, an 1159 built between 70-75. Early Kings are well built...
Count me in for your "Over 50 Ensemble" guys! In fact, I may qualify for the "Over 60 Ensemble since I will be 64 in December of this year. Sincerely, Ed...
When I first came back to horn, I had the same issues Paul and Tina do. I'm sure they're universal for anyone coming back after a hiatus. What worked well...
Clarke, Arban Kopprasch, Pares bottom line is the "patterns" need to be in your fingers. They need to have the same speed and agility as a one octave C major...

Do any of you know who made the first dual bore horn? Paxman, Lawson or Holton? In other words, who had the idea first? I LOVE my Merker 276, but will admit...

I played a King double in high school in the early 1980s before I got my Conn 8D. It wasn't a bad horn, but it was *quite* heavy. I don't know what model it...
