>find out later it is no longer available.I found a piece last December, a sax quartet of variations on the "All Things Considered" theme, on the JW Pepper website, and tried to order it. Thought it would be fun to try on sarrusophones. Unfortunately, they had changed their ordering system, and I needed a new customer number. By the time they replied with the customer order, the quartet have disappeared from their catalog. To compound things, it had been listed under some other title, and I chanced upon it accidentally while looking for something else: at this point, I can't remember the title, composer, or anything else helpful...

Yep. The F horn is actually the same length as the F tuba, just optimized for the upper register rather than the lower register. Aren't there a number of baroque (pre-tuba) works that use horn pedal tones for the low brass voice?I guess nobody makes a "5/4" F horn for playing 4th parts? Hmmmm....

Subject: [CB] Recordings
Does anyone know of a recording of (a) Fanfare la Sirene (a circa 1925 French sarrusophone group), or (b) the Garde Nationale band (Parisian, possibly still in existence)? All I'm finding on the web is soldiers and auto horns...
Thanks,
Grant
