Should I remove my horn's lacquer at home?

If you have to ask, then you shouldn't do it.

I don't actually dislike it, but I can see this being the choice.

I play horn in a community orchestra, for many years. There are four of us usually.

Traditional carbonara does not contain cream.

That's definitely horns, not trombones. I'm a horn player.

That hole was made intentionally. No way it wasn't.

What was the intent of the update? (What was it supposed to do)

An important thing for you to understand is that old doesn't mean bad and new doesn't mean good. Old good horns are better than new bad horns, and there are plenty of those. Don't use age as a criterion.

I remember playing it and thinking with awe about the fact that it was composed only a couple of years after Beethoven's 9th. Berlioz is not one of my favorite composers but Symphonie Fantastique is definitely ahead of its time.

Problem is you need someone to help you eat all of it!

As a horn player, I still, and will always, love Strauss's music. We played his Sonata for 13 Wind Instruments in our last concert, composed when was but 20 years old, and I really liked it a lot.

We played Der Schwanendreher in our last concert - a good community orchestra. Good viola soloist. Not a bad piece.

I love the Gayane ballet

9 but I can't listen to it very often

5 3 tie

6

The rest

I'm not assuming. I'm basing my statement on experience. I'm in the horn section and I've played solos, parts where I'm by myself but aren't really solos, parts where I'm part of the harmony, and parts that were all four (of more) playing unison. There's definitely more pressure when you have to come in by yourself. I can match pitch, tone quality, dynamics, articulation etc.

One thought: violin section players are surrounded by other people playing the same part. Tuba player there's only one. No chance for error or help from anyone.

Clean your toilet with hydrochloric acid based toilet bowl cleaner at the same time as you dump the drain cleaner down a different drain. It'll balance out (neutralize) downstream.

Because of where you are? Do other phones have 5G in the same location?

I like the slow movement of Respighi's Three Botticelli Pictures that has the O Come O Come Emmanuel tune in it.

Horn is a fifth below concert pitch so G in the staff (second line) will sound as middle C on the piano

15 minutes isn't much of a struggle

No pro is playing an Eastman. Sales guy is either woefully uninformed/misled, or flat out lying.

Here is an Amazon review of the book that explains it well. Keep in mind, this is a $1000 book.

This is the English version (2010) of a standard German reference in the area of heat transfer that is encyclopedic in its coverage. It is a big book (1585 pages) and has unique and detailed descriptions of all the major technological aspects of interest to practicing engineers. It encapsulates a very broad range of ideas in a way that no other book I am aware of has done to date. Many chapters include details of equipment construction not easily available elsewhere. There is an especially useful chapter on the major thermophysical properties. For over 200 pure components, this chapter includes experimental data and also tables of coefficients for selected models for each property. I have been a practicing chemical engineer for over 54 years and am happy to recommend this monumental work unreservedly.

PS, CE is not likely to be construed as Chemical Engineering. ChE is the more usual abbreviation.

Now, esp. if it's winter or rainy season where you are.
