There's days to go yet but I'm considering bidding. I'm not too confident that I know what this horn is or what its worth. Is this the .547 bore Yammie and is it a quality horn? Any info/guidance will be appreciated. thanks Steve C England ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2003 14:08:14 +0000 From: posaune rex Subject: webpage update Hello, I have updated my webpage to include the info on the San Antonio Principal trombone audition.

You English are so colorful... No, as a matter of fact I have almost entirely stopped listening to recorded music except as a research and reference tool. I listen to the radio see what's happening in the various idioms, or at least what the large companies THINK is happening; I transcribe when I want to know how something was constructed,and I am always finding new idioms and musicians heretofore unknown to me from the past, but when I really want to hear music I haul myself out of the house, sit down in front of people who are playing and listen. Admittedly this is much easier in NYC than most places in the world, but hey,that's why I live here. The "listen" part is really the hard thing, whether at home or live, and something I neglected to .mention in some of my earlier posts on this subject. Besides the fact that my steel needled phonograph doers a really nasty job on CDs, I have found that when I am listening to live music I am literally forced to concentrate on a deeper level. W/recorded music, it's always "Oh well, I can replay this track if my attention wanders", "Bloody hell, the phone again!!!" or any of a thousand other available distractions. Live, you either do it or you don't. You've plunked down your money; you can either use it or lose it. Further, I am not too sure of this, but I am beginning to agree w/the anti-digital camp among audiophiles. For years, a fairly vocal group of heavy audio people have been saying something is fishy about digital recording and playback, and I have noticed myself that no matter how hard I try, I am not as involved in the act of listening as I was in the pre-digital age. Could be I've just heard too much music, but I no longer have a turntable and have no way to accurately evaluate this idea. Many claim that systems that convert digital sound back to analog playback solve this problem to some degree. If I wasn't spending so much money on the various aspects of making music in the first place I would buy some equipment and mess around w/this whole idea, but...too busy, too broke... Anyway, Adrian,it's been so cold in NY this winter that I had to take my dog's head out of my horn and use him as a foot warme;. He's a Welsh Corgi, and you know how short they are...he fits nicely in smaller instruments, though, and give a lovely warm barking sound to the higher range. On certain notes he actually adds pitches for a very interesting multiphonic effect...) Come to think of it, he was bred as a drover too...have you any Welsh blood, Adrian? You may be related. Barking mad, I remain...

I buy old vinyl more and more. But you said something a few posts ago about being in front of a musician and i remembered noticing that when in my local theatre listening to and watching a small scale opera. The band was a single viola, one trumpet and mixed percussion. When the viola player lightly bowed her string, it filled the room with colours and sounds, textures and ideas. There's no way that that could be captured by a recording, only a facsimile of it. When watching courtney pine soon afterwards in the same theatre, everything was amplified and no mater what he did, he could not create that richness, that complexity, that magic that came from a simple single note allowed to play in the way it should have been played - from that string to my ears. But yes, there are dogs hanging around old gramaphones over here.

The ones we got here in the states have a 8.5" bell, and the red brass is actually called the YSL-643R here. Not sure of the exact specs of the European model, it could be that is has a 9" bell, who knows. It is in their "Professional" trombone category. Pretty good horn, if it's in good shape and the price is right, go for it. Eric Swanson ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2003 15:55:24 -0600 From: "D.J.
