I was doing some research on H.K. Gruber’s Aerial tonight. Specifically, I was looking into the cowhorn required in the piece — how one might acquire said cow horn and what might be involved in actually playing such a thing — when I came across this Wiki page. There isn’t much information here, but I did find one absolute nugget of a sentence. Just there, at the end of the Wiki article, the very last sentence sums up something I have been trying to tell people for 20 years.
The bigger the cowhorn is, the easier it is to play.
Throughout the evolution of brass instruments, some things have never changed.
