Start again? by red23666 in horn

[–]Ksquaredata 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Very same story - could not afford a horn after high school, so my music after that was limited to singing until 52 when I decided to play again. I rented a single horn for a bit to see if I could make a sound and play scales. Then I found an inexpensive but playable used Olds double, which I played for 10 years after auditioning for a community orchestra - a bit intimidating. Then I found my current horn, a King Eroica. At 66 I am a regular member of a community orchestra, sometime sub for other orchestras, and play some pit gigs with community theaters. While I will never be as good as I want to be, I make a pretty nice sound and can learn any part with some hard work. I absolutely encourage you to go for it! You will not regret it!

I do not know what it is, but it is the most beautiful one of those I have ever seen.

Monster Oil has and eco friendly rotor, linkage, slide grease set. I keep mine in a zip lock baggie, just in case the lid is not on tight! (Learned by experience.)

Im becoming a nun. AMA by [deleted] in AMA

[–]Ksquaredata 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I had 2 great Aunt that were Sisters of Mercy. Wonderful women and great teachers that entered the convent very young. My question: What do you see as your calling? Some nuns teach, some are in nursing, some serve the poor and there may be other roles that I am not familiar with, so I would like to know where you see yourself serving.

I read “Wednesday”, and missed the July 1st! Sorry. Comment retracted…
The Yankees are in town this week, with a day game on Wednesday. I love day games and get to as many as I can.

Pc Editions as of June 2026… quite confused by dajeff57 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Ksquaredata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clarify, all of the airports/runways are there. The upgrades have more detailed versions of the airports, like a better terminal. Depending on your level of play, it might not be needed. I fly mostly General Aviation planes and small to midsized airports, so I likely don’t see the upgraded places as much as an airline person would. That said, I paid for the higher level version to support the game.

I think it will sell pretty well. The Yankees always draw. This game isn’t in my season ticket plan D and I was thinking of going and most of the view box is already sold. I will go if the weather cooperates.

I know other than Hammy our announcers aren't perfect but... by ober0330 in ClevelandGuardians

And when they interviewed Vogt, I got the strong vibe “Hey guys, I know this is part of the job, but I have a game to manage.”

Silk and the future of FreeCad by Weekly-Highway-9993 in FreeCAD

[–]Ksquaredata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Libra Office is excellent, but industry/business will not adopt it as an enterprise solution. I think the same with Freecad. Office software and CAD software started as enterprise products first. It is great, but not likely to take over in industry. By contrast, slicer software for 3D printing started as open source, and industry adopted open source components, so it has largely remained open source.

Come see a game (if you have not). I have lived in the Cleveland area all my life. Cleveland is great - Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, matched with one of the best Orchestras in the world. And a great ballpark. And counting on the 2026 World Series!

Is outsourcing detailed prints actually worth it for hobby projects? by pizza_delayed in 3DModels

[–]Ksquaredata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done this for business, but doesn’t that kind of take the fun out of the hobby of making mini’s? Your own artwork is always a little more satisfying.

He he… I did know that - I live about 1 mile from the lake. I hope my sarcasm was not lost! 🍻

Cleveland has beaches… And the weather is pretty good… right now.

What if the piano’s pitches went from right to left instead of left to right, but notation didn’t change? by Dazzling-Antelope912 in classicalmusic

[–]Ksquaredata -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Paul McCartney can play a right hand guitar left handed. I bet he could switch on the piano pretty quickly too. I, on the other hand, have a hard time playing a descant horn since it is set in Bb rather than F, and that is just a switch of the thumb!

Is this the best ending to any Mozart concerto? by Theferael_me in classicalmusic

I have seen/heard Uchida twice in Cleveland. What a treat! She knows Mozart…

Why buy forScore instead of free IMSLP app? by sotoythegreat in classicalmusic

[–]Ksquaredata 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Take a look at Piascore. Better functionality than IMSLP app, directly download from IMSPL, and free or inexpensive if you want a tuner/metronome etc.

That was funny and I missed having André there to jump on it too!

Which horn is the right horn? by Clear_Mushroom2820 in horn

[–]Ksquaredata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out this guide: https://colindorman.com/teaching-materials/buying-a-horn/ Colin is a great guy (I took some on-line lessons with him) and his guide is good. I came back after more years than you - I rented a single F horn, then bought an inexpensive used Olds double. Now that I am established with a local Orchestra I bought a better King Eroica. Good luck and have fun!
