I’m a freshman in high school, made 1st chair region twice in middle school and once this year, but I think my current horn isn’t going to work for the rest of high school, I currently play on an Antigua vosi French horn and it was $999.99. I’ve tried an 8d and hated it, any recommendations?

Hello all! I live in a country where salaries are around 1000$ monthly, which isn't a lot at all. I was wondering, how are so so so many people able to afford Alexanders? No cheap copies, the original Gebr Alexander shebang. They sell for around 8000 to 9000$ which is almost a year worth of salaries WITHOUT soendijg anything on food and utilities. I am aware some are in philharmonics which buy the horns or at least provide like 25% of the price, upt to 50%, but still, almost everyone I see on social media, professional horn player or not, has an Alex 103. Am I simply unable to comprehend the ..read more

I don’t know what to do, it just keeps getting worse and is incredibly frustrating and demoralizing. My best solution so far is not setting anything, and then right when I play, setting everything extremely quickly so my body doesn’t have time to lock up. It sometimes works but today was especially bad, couldn’t get anything going. Please help if you can

Hey all! My friends grand dad played the horn in high school back in the early ‘50s and we just dug it out of the attic. Looking to see if anyone knows anything about this horn.

This is partially me thinking way ahead. I graduate next spring.
Though I am earning my degree in music, my primary source of income will not be earned via music.
I plan to work in either public safety and/or healthcare in some capacity while staying involved with music in whatever way I can. My immediate thought is to look for community ensembles, be it band, orchestra or a small chamber group of some sort.
What are other ways I can stay involved with music?

Looks like my 1st slide on my horn is not closing fully. It's not stuck, just not fully closing. Could it be too long for that slide? What should I do???

Hi guys,
I am looking for a change from stock yamaha case which is too heavy and sturdy for everyday use to a Protec PRO PAC Deluxe.
I love Marcus Bonna cases as well, but I tried to fit my YHR 671D in my options, so far it was a tight fit or just didn't at all.
Now I'm looking at this Protec and since the bell size is a bit taller at Yamaha, I'm afraid it will be too snug for the bell.
Does anybody has experience with this combo and overall the case?
Thanks!

Hello all!
I have been looking for a somewhat cheap double horn to use for fun in college with friends for a little while now. A local music store reached out to me with an offer for a used “Carl Schiller double french horn” priced at $899.
Does anyone know anything about the brand or the horn itself? Like I mentioned, I don’t need a super amazing horn for auditions; just one that is worth the price. I have worked with this store before, so I may be able to negotiate the price down a bit as well.
(Apologies for the blurry pictures.. I might be able to see it in person in a couple of days ..read more
