This is the first time I have seen a horn with dissimilar metals like this. The bare brass instrument with the silver plated bell.

@whoever121 Well, if she was in somewhere other than Philly or Cleveland, she could probably get away with just a Rauch, haha.

@dvillanueva13 She plays a Conn 8D and a Rauch. Makes sense to me seeing as she has careers as an orchestral player (8D often) and soloist (Rauch) :)

Being a former professional horn player for many years, I personally enjoyed your playing...You have a very positive personality. Yes, playing into that dark curtain didn't help your tone very much...I played the Alexander French Horn, which I love to play, but then because I was over blowing the instrument switched to the Conn 8 D...larger bore..

Definitely thought she was part of the Conn 8D movement, my mistake I see.

@eamflutes I did hear her performance live and it was on of the most lyrical and impressive performances I'd ever heard. She is a miraculous player!
