Hi all,
It is good to see several of the players on the " Give it one" album using descant horns. What terrific playing there is on that disc, well done to all. Although none of my professional peers have commented on my use of a Paxman Model 40, I was told by someone that another hornplayer had said, it's alright for S he uses a descant horn!! When is the myth that "real" players only play on double horns going to stop. As I get older I really am not bothered by such comments, but surely if it was so much easier to play high on a descant, everybody would use one unless it is some sort of machismo thing!!
Comments please and take care everyone.
