Bruckner8 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 About these ... ?G Sops, Flugels and Mellos (5 1/3 feet long) G Baris, Euphs and Frenchies (10 2/3 feet long) Although the tubing may have been the same length for the sop/flugel/mello - didn't the bores and bell shapes and sizes make a difference in the tonality ... and wouldn't the same be true for French/Bari/Euph instruments? I specifically remember when we took delivery of our Euphoniums, they seemed to be twice the size of the baritone horns our guys were used to playing - heavier, too. I could be wrong - I was 15 after all. Puppet Of course...and I said so in the Frenchie part! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruckner8 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Bruckner- I was referring to the fingerings... >.< Even so, it got me thinking along two lines: 1) Of ourse they're the same, and 2) because it's the same pitch. Then I just went about my usual pendantic path about horn length, pitch and overtone series. Fun stuff, eh? not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-horns Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 It's never going to stop bugging me that the bolded bit is at all a concern. Making it as easy as possible for a kid to go from band to corps seems to defeat the purpose of the "educational" part of the activity. But that's just me. I also give a ton of crap to any trombone-playing music major I encounter that can't read tenor clef. Let's not start a debate on the "education" issue. You might find we have quite a bit in common.

Puppet Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Of course...and I said so in the Frenchie part! Yes, indeed you did. Mistakenly misunderstood. Even so, it got me thinking along two lines: 1) Of ourse they're the same, and 2) because it's the same pitch.Got that. Then I just went about my usual pedantic path about horn length, pitch and overtone series. Fun stuff, eh? not... I agree with crazymello and I'll expand with my next response. Let's not start a debate on the "education" issue. You might find we have quite a bit in common. This, I thought was a discussion on the mechanics of the various instruments. Otherwise there might have been words like pedagogy thrown around. I agree; we wouldn't want that. Puppet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I want no one doing any "gogy" to my feet, athankyou. Now, back to discussing how long our "horns" are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
