F Tuning Slide(1) 21 Before You Play Handling the Instrument The instrument is made of a thin metal so please handle it with care. [. . . ] Take notice that when temperatures are warmer, the main tuning slide should be pulled out a little more, while cooler temperatures will require that you push the slide in. Also, the position and angle of your right hand in the bell will have an influence on pitch as well. Single Horns Slide the main tuning slide in or out to tune the instrument. Double Horns 1. Use the main tuning slide to tune the Bb side. * Instruments with a Bb tuning slide should tune with the main tuning slide as well. 2. Use the F tuning slide to tune the F side of the instrument. 23 Tuning 3. When pulling out the slides, make sure that the lever corresponding to the slide is depressed. 4. When the hand stopping technique is used, the 4th valve on the YHR-332 lets you use regular fingerings in combination with this technique. Also, when setup as shown in the illustration below, it can be used in the same way as the 2nd valve, lowering the pitch a half-step. * What is Gestopft or hand stopping?This is a technique used on F Single or Double Horns(using F side) where the hand is placed further into the bell to raise the horn's pitch by a half-step and change the tone of the instrument. But doing so requires the player to transpose the score down a half step to produce the correct pitch. The 4th valve on the YHR-322 compensates for the difference in pitch when using the hand stop technique, so you can read the score as is and still get the correct pitch. 24 Maintenance Caring for your instrument after playing To keep your instrument both looking and playing well, make sure you take proper care of it after you have finished playing. When caring for the instrument, place it on a table or, hold it securely in your hands, taking care not to drop it. Valve Slide Maintenance Body Maintenance Use a polishing cloth to gently wipe the instrument's surface. If dirt or tarnish is obvious, the following products can be used. 1. Remove the valve slides to remove any moisture. * Removing the valve slide without holding the corresponding lever down creates a drop in air pressure within the pipe, creating a suction that can result in poor rotor function or damage to the inside of the pipe. 2. Use a screw driver and adjust the lever length as shown in the illustration below. 29 Options Eb Crook (optional) This optional main tuning slide is designed for the YHR-314 and transforms the single F horn into an Eb horn so that you can play Eb parts without transposing. The crook is designed so that the horn fits in the case when it is attached. Main Tuning Slide Eb Crook When using the Eb crook, the 1st through 3rd valve tuning slides should be pulled out a little. 30 Options F Natural Slide (optional) Attached to the YHR-322's 4th valve slide the F natural slide offers the sound of an open F horn. It enhances clarity in the mid-low range such as C (actual F) or G (actual C) and stable intonation. The F Natural Slide is designed so that the horn fits in the case when attached. F Natural Slide 31 Troubleshooting Tone is not clear and pitch is poor. · Dirt has accumulated inside the tubing. Use the procedure described in the "Valve Slide Maintenance" section and wash out the insides of the tubing. · The mouthpiece is loose and rattles, and air is leaking from around the mouthpiece. · There is a large dent in the tubing, and air is leaking from the ferrules where the tubing connects. · Holes in the rotors are not aligned with holes in the valve casing branches. Bei der Auslieferung des Instruments ist dieses Ventil so eingerichtet, dass das Horn beim Betätigen des Hebels von der F-Seite zur B-Seite wechselt. La 4ème palette des cors doubles sert à faire passer l'instrument de Fa en Si b. Par défaut, elle est configurée de telle sorte que le cor joue en Fa lorsqu'elle n'est pas enfoncée et qu'il joue en SI b lorsqu'elle est enfoncée.
