These links will be activated gradually as content is migrated from Hornplayer.net. As each article requires a good deal of html cleanup and the person repsonsible for doing so is also hosting the 45th International Horn Symposium, this project is temporarily on hold. Work will begin again once he has recovered from that endeavor. We apologize for the delay and thank you for your understanding.
