[Netscape Now!] The Horn Players' FAQ [Image]
This is version 0.54 of the Horn Players' FAQ, last [Yamaha YHR667D]
modified on 03 Sep 97, 16:21:32 CDT. Maintainer of the
FAQ is Ron Boerger, rboerger@io.com, aka TheHornist@aol.com .. this document
is copyrighted; see here for more information.
First, a note about what this FAQ is, and is not. It is a collection of
commonly-asked questions about the French Horn. It does NOT represent the
views of the International Horn Society (IHS), although I am a member of
that group. Originally, this FAQ was designed to handle questions that
cropped up frequently on what used to be the IHS' Horn e-mail list.
Nowadays, it is just the Horn mailing list, as membership is open to any and
all. In a like vein, once you have joined the mailing list, you are NOT a
member of the IHS! To join the IHS, please see the entry below on the IHS
itself.
This FAQ is the sole external reference cited by Encyclopedia Britannica
Online regarding the [French] Horn :-) It (in somewhat modified form) was
also selected as a "Hot Link of the Week" [Brass Instruments] by Music
Interactive.
The master location for this FAQ is

obtained via ftp at ftp://ftp.io.com/pub/usr/rboerger/horn.faq.
