Hi, Katy says that the modern horn is an 'Alexander - Model 103'. As for the mouthpiece, it is a 'Paxman 3B screw-rim' and she uses it for both the modern and natural horns. The natural horn was made by Josef Lidl and believed to be the 'LHR 320' model. Katy also added that the bell flare on the modern horn was made by Cornford. We hope you find this useful and thank you for your kind words!

What a lovely summary of a beautiful instrument. I used to play Eb euphonium in school, before being forced into the Tuba (Windband and local orchestra lost their Tuba player) and ultimately giving up on brass playing. What I loved so dearly with the euphonium and horns in general really was the versatility. It was as at home playing a solo melody as it was playing as part of a complex layered arrangement. I always felt the Tuba never had that and think that's why brass lost its sparkle for me. Love it.

Some additions Horns were used in long range hunting, from around 1650 with the first composed music being written around 1700. Lyrical horn writing has been possible from baroque times in the (very) high register (Telemann horn concerto in D second movement). With hand stopping (discovered in around 1745 by Hampl) also in the upper middle register. Then with valves in the low register and chromatic. At the time when the valve was discovered around 1830 (a very hard thing to make actually, a valve) people were used to a horn being played with stopped, fuzzy sounds. Just like today, people were not immediately smitten with the new sound of the valve horn. Several famous composers complained that this new sound was dull and colourless (Brahms, Berlioz). The valved horn was much more practical and around 1880 everyone got used to the new sound, so around 50 years of transition. At the Paris conservatoire natural horn kept being taught until well into the 20th century.

@thomasarussellsr 3 года назад

I tried many instruments between early childhood and high school... Piano, bassoon, clarinet, sax, trumpet, bagpipes, flute, epiphone, tuba, drums, oboe, trombone, and finally settled on bass trombone w/ f-key my sophomore year. I have personally also dabbled with the harmonica and guitar and would love to find an affordable fiddle/violin to try out and a banjo, but we'll see if I can find the time and money on my tight fixed disability budget. I also love to work my vocal instrument every chance I get. (Dad was a classical pianist and professor of music theory at a local university.)

I started playing French Horn (A year behind, mind you) in the beginning of the school year. I am now quite caught up and am playing with the 7th graders, but I cannot play anything above a C very well (Note this is the C that is ON THE STAFF) and I have to clean out my mouthpiece every couple of measures because my mouthpiece will be loaded with spit and it messes with my playing sound. Do you have any suggestions for that sorta thing?

@philharmonia_orchestra 10 лет назад

EnderbornNinja, sometimes excess force when playing will cause a build up of saliva. Focus on your embouchure. It's the way the muscles around your mouth and your lips work with the mouthpiece to create the sounds. You should find that if you are able to improve your embouchure you can achieve harder notes with less force and reduce the problems you are experiencing. Hope this is helpful and good luck!

I've been interested in brass instruments for a long time, and just recently started playing them--starting with trombone, then trumpet, and the latest is euphonium. I learned a lot from this video because Ms. Woolley went into further detail than most demonstrations or articles about this instrument. Thanks for a wonderful presentation! FWIW, shortly after getting my trombone, I purchased a few mouthpieces from different brass instruments for fun, including trumpet, French horn and tuba. I was able to get higher notes on the trombone using the first two, but failed even to get good pedal tones with the tuba mouthpiece. The French horn mouthpiece allowed a similar range as the trumpet mouthpiece on the trumpet, but with this and on the trombone, the timbre was quite different. Now with the euphonium, the results are similar to that with the trombone. I have yet to be able to adapt the tuba mouthpiece to the euphonium, but I hope to try this later.

I'd love to use the app that is advertised at the end but I'm not going to buy an apple product for it. It would be great if it was available for windows or android phones.

This video makes me feel better about playing the French Horn! I hope I can reach her skill level one day...

Excellent, very informative and fun. Says this long time drummer and now Saxophone player. It's nice to know about other instruments.

I played first chair french horn all through middle/high school. I love the french horn so much! I played in band in college too but it was a marching/athletic band so we played mellophone. Now I play cornet in a community brass band but brass is always my first love!

Interesting instrument. Even The Who used the French horn in some songs. Seems illogical, but it worked.

@UCKzx92ZqX1PKYTC-FC-CZRQ French Hornists can play Eb Horn parts on an Eb Alto Horn, Bb parts on a Baritone Horn etc. Having Horns in every key might make it easier to transpose on the fly especially on a Church gig to fit the ranges of other instruments, vocalists or even both.

Can we please do away with calling it a "French" horn? English is the only language that employs the term, and, in fact, the International Horn Society passed a motion to abandon the term at its inaugural meeting in 1970. Something like that.

@eschneider7370 8 лет назад

Most people just refer to it as the horn

@Joshcoshbagosh 8 лет назад

"horn" is far too broad of a term and it seems incredibly silly to refer to the instrument that way. A "horn" is literally every brass instrument and often loosely refers to woodwinds as well

@supyoist 8 лет назад

Joshcoshbagosh Particularly the "English Horn." You're right, a very broad term

But she IS beautiful. Nothing wrong with saying it. It would be a different story if other more profane things were said, but my friend here was only complementing her.
