    Wonderful! As an organist, I couldn't resist choosing the horn as my second instrument ( my singing voice wasn't up to much...) Great to see so many youngsters already playing! (and fraternal greetings to anyone at Brisbane Cathedral from your elder sister at Truro, Cornwall, UK - same architect!)

    That was awesome! So many horns!
    We have a similar event, a three-day meetup in Barcelona, organized by the Catalan Association of Horn Players "Associació de trompistes de Catalunya". It's fun!

    Agree totally! Hand strap avoids pains in pinky and up to the neck after prolonged sessions. We need all the help we can get!!

    Things have changed. When I was playing, most of these would be called German horns. French horns had plunge valves (like a trumpet) whereas German horns had rotary valves operated by a lever.

      Not sure where you are located but they have always been denoted Horns or French Horns- It’s all about the pitch (F or F/Bb), flare of the tubing and to a lesser extent the shape.
      Rotary or piston valves not that important.

    Earlier this year, I started playing with a hand strap, I've even removed the adjustable finger hook from my 103.
    Couldn't be happier. I've always hated the stress on the pinky (started playing back in 1996). I really think the pinky hook is not ergonomic at all.
    And yet, I rarely see any professionals using a strap.
    What are your thoughts on this?

      But it is. Temps dropped down from a pleasant 30-35C to a biting bitter 20-21C. Nights are even colder. Brave people those Brissies.
