The weird thing is, the first time I ever went for a classical music concert, the horn players in the orchestra *were* playing with the bells facing the audience, a lot like bugs bunny but it was resting in their lap. I have no idea why they did that. For that matter, I don't get why players don't do it more often. It's not like most pieces require hand-stopping.
@@ruanpingshan in short, the right hand in the bell alters the color of the sound (the tone quality), alters the pitch (pretty important as it allows the player to adjust intonation without having to use the embouchure to do it), and it (and this is hard to explain and involves some physics & acoustics) makes the notes in the high register more secure, easier to hit accurately.
It’s already frustrating when they can’t like watch a video of someone playing an instrument. Like yeah it’s okay if they don’t get the valve presses right, but like all they had to do was look at a person play the French horn to realize how they hold it. It’s incredible frustrating when they don’t do that. But honestly it’s looney tunes so they probably just did that on purpose.
@@microwave_overlord Used is definitely the way to go if you aren't going to be making money back on the horn. I got a double horn for $600 online, and it seems like there's a lot more in that price bracket if you temper your expectations.
French horn player here: Of course the normal way of playing the horn shown at 0:14 is correct, but there is also the instruction "bells up" which means to face the bell outwards towards the audience. Still not quite the same as what Bugs Bunny is doing but closer.
There's no mouthpiece He is holding it god awfully wrong Music looks like it was made for piano He's blowing into it so wrong There's not even valves half of the time Other half he's just holding tubing *This hurts to watch*
As a french horn player this makes me very argivated. If you're going to put someone playing a french horn atleast try and research the actual instrument before taking the time to animation it.
probably because it’s really time-consuming to try and animate how the instrument is played, since posture and hand placement are hard to get right (i think), especially when it’s a hard piece the character is playing - i’m guessing it’s more time-consuming when non-musicians usually don’t pay attention to it which in this case, i’m assuming is a good amount of people who watch looney tunes
