Subject: Re: Large Conch Shell horn in 'E' (high)

My horn is beautiful. It arrived Wednesday, in time to begin toughening up my poor lip. It is just a bit low, but if I make sure not to block the opening with my hand at all, it is just high enough to qualify as a "folk instrument 'E' ". It's so much easier to play (with the brass mouthpiece) than my other conch, and has a big round sound. My challenge will be to play it softly when required, and to have the endurance needed on it. (It plays almost continuously for several minutes).

I don't actually play it with the orchestra until Wednesday, but I heard a recording of the piece today (Revueltas "Night of the Maya"). It's wild, loud, and sounds like a Human Sacrifice Convention. The horn on my recording is actually playing a 'C', and sounds rather wimpy and erratic. I hope I can do better.

Thanks so much for your prompt service and excellent product.
