Not another bleedin` hornist !!! Get hold of a Tuba!! it might seem like you are trying to cuddle a small factory at first but at least you don`t need a strap on...(unless you are marching of course) and you don`t end up with bad eyes and a bottom lip like a salmon!!

Spoiler:


ground bait distributed...sits and waits for bite

What you need Sarah Adams is a Saxamaphone. One of the coolest instruments you can play. Easy to carry, you can play it anywhere, Big Band, Marching Band, Concert Band and sometimes in an Orchestra. Give the Horn a wide berth and go for the Sax. You know it makes sense.

DO NOT under any circumstances listen to the Welsh writer above - on this subject or any other!!!!

He is a charlatan who used to hold an alto saxamathingy and we all know the sort of racket that thing makes in anybody's hands except Stan Getz.

You get stuck into your horn and enjoy it. (You will eventually!!)

PM me and I'll send you some stuff OK?

Stuey

(Before the above mentioned Welshman pops in again with a derogatory comment, the stuff will be French horn related... )

Don't listen to any of these people above who are challenged by just holding a lump of twisted metal.

Go percussion, and then you can run around at the back of a concert, bashing things, making a noise, and be very silly for the rest of your life, and get paid for it too. So, there !

Don't listen to that last post. That man is plainly disturbed. He even supports the Scummers (Southampton). You can bash as many things as you want, but to get musical satisfaction, it has got to be the Saxamaphone Family. After all, there is thirteen of us to choose from. There is only one Francais Cor. and that needs you to stuff your hand in the bell to stop an unearthly noise from being exuded from it's intestines....Bleugh....

..How strange...I thought it pointed back the way...

Surely the way forward is cornet, trombone etc...???

And of course the way UP is Tuba, Bombardon, Bass, call it what you like mate...
