DevsBari02 Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 The DEG baritone at Devils is much harder to fling up than the Kanstul baritone I used at Spirit last summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sluggo Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 If I remember, we had DEG in '91-'92 and they were pretty easy to flip up and down....If they weren't DEG, they were Dynasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanAdamsons Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 Coats switched from both hands in front to a two-handed carriage in 2001. The rationale was that the entire hornline was now holding their horns the same way. To me it depends on what you're looking for: -uniformity: it's obviously easier to clean if you just say "have your hands in front," but it's a lot harder for the low brass than the high brass. If you're willing to put in the time to clean hand position on a two handed carriage it looks more uniform in the end, but actually cleaning it is a pain. -crisper movement vs control: you can do it faster with the two hands out front because it's kind of a throw and catch motion to either horns up or carry. Because you're catching the horn with your left hand it's easier to stop the momentum faster, which makes it look crisper (and if you get good at it you can make a pretty sweet "ping" sound when you do it). By the same token you have a lot more control when you go with a two handed carriage because you don't have to change hand position at all from horns up to horns down, and if you have more contact with the horn for longer you have more control (duh). The real issue comes down to how much you want to work. SCV uses two hands and they have the best horn moves on earth lately, but part of that is also cause no one will ever hear a judge talk about horn moves on a tape and like it or not they dictate what rehearsal time gets spent on. Now that I've strayed completely away from the original question, your best friend is repitition. The "move faster, wait longer, hit harder" thing is great too, i heard that from Chris Li (xmen 96-98, coats staff 99) and he told me it was actually an old zingali-ism. Other than that try to catch the third slide ring with your left index finger on horns up, that trick always helped me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
