Hi Denise, What types of exercises/warm ups do you use to really open up and strengthen the extreme low register of the horn?

[@DeniseTryon]

There was a recent IHS E-Newletter all about low horn. Here is a link to the article I wrote for it (it's got a lot about how to improve your low register) - www.hornsociety.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1142:tryon-low&catid=295:newsletter&Itemid=417

I've been doing Denise's "routine" for the last 3 months every day (I think I missed one day, actually :) ). There's a great low horn blasting exercise that has helped me a lot.

What is that thing attached on the F branch? On my small screen it looks like a tiny octopus.

It is a small octopus. I like the animal and found a way to attach it to my horn
