Houghton Horns. Keller, TX August 2013 - one of my favorite places - just returned

back home with a new Rauch G lead  pipe for my Rauch Horn

installation by Houghton Horns

Played some quartets with friends this morning. Beginning to settle in with this newer, larger pipe. Practicing tonight as well between plays - the LSU/TCU game. I love the upper end of the pipe. So easy to play with a much, rounder, clearer sound in the higher register.. Thought I would have to work harder.
