The gold plated solve your problem?

It is really fascinating to hear you talk about the Alto Horn from your perspective. I am a Tenor Horn (haha!) player and have been for a while, with Brass band being my introduction to music in general I didn't realise just how strange the set up of the Brass Band family is to people who aren't familiar with it. It reminds me of my own confusion in learning how orchestras work and picking up a single F French horn for the first time. Working on the Hindemith off and on for a while now, which is why your video peaked my interest, your excerpts sounded amazing! The convertible tuning slide is just bizarre, though I have heard that Alto Horns have gone through some quite big changes over the 20th century to so heaven knows why it is like that.

I am beginner and played on a very old instrument from the music school, heavy built and Kruspe style. Then recently, I bought a second hand Yamaha YHR 664. It looked good but the sound was so "ordinary", nothing romantic, almost like a good trombone . Of course, next I played it with a DW 4 mpc and that helped to give a warmer, deeper sound. But so, I learn here that the difference between Kruspe and other wraps is very real on Yamaha. The 664 is it seems a kind of modified Geyer??

You captured that magical and nostalgic feeling I felt the first time I heard it… you deserve more views. ❤

this is gorgeous

Nice job you did well in explaining things about fenders head stalk shape’s and you played great music!

Is it a master art violin? Or just a normal Juzek.

I'm leaving a question here because I couldn't find other video of your review about this mouthpiece. So what do you think about Laskey F series on that(kruspe style horn) and don't you have problems on high range? I'd heard that many people says G series is for geyer horn. But they also talked G series is standard, not F series. I'm confused by that. My horn is holton h279, and I'm considering between 775F or 775J. I'm afraid of F series's cup depth is quite deep so that affects high register. That's the reason why I consider J series too.

This feels like a lost Final Fantasy tune. (Considering she did music for the Crystal Chronicles spinoff series) Kumi is heavily underrated in both game music and JRPGs as well.

Competent adult amateur here. I've spent 20+ years playing a 90s Yamaha YHR-664. It has the same wrap as Yamaha's very first pro-level horn, the 662. It's Kruspe-ish but actually based on a Sansone design. I've tried several pro horns over the years - Alexanders and Paxmans - and while they're undeniably better, they're not $5000 better for me. If you're a pro and can get 100% out of an instrument, the instrument matters. For me a 90s Yamaha has always had enough "room to grow". The deficiencies are almost always in the player, not the instrument.

I think it is not in 1 world. It is both grave and gentle at the same time. Just like Mozart music ^^

Amazing job, Cuz!

On Yamaha horns, is it better to use European or Morse shank mouthpieces?

As an amateur horn player (also based in Philly actually), the idea of someday getting my hands on a vienna horn is a distant dream, but man, that must have been so much fun!

I'm a French horn player looking for an Alto horn keyed in F, and a search brought me here. Your tone is gorgeous. I've read that using a French horn mouthpiece is a compromise, so I wonder how the tone might differ with an alto horn specialist using a conventional mouthpiece. Also, I'm curious what mouthpiece you used for this recording?

Great playing! Can I include a section of this in a video I’m making on Shostakovich?

The minecraft movie needs to sound like this

Nice vid. But please for the love of god record in landscape mode next time 😅

This is beautifully played. At the time of your recording, how long had you been learning to play the French Horn and also what brand is it?

I have one of those but in the limited edition in a wine stain red color.. it sounds good enough for my hobby hands with some reverb & delay & chorus & some good effects it's a pretty guitar for my hobby hands...

You played this beautifully! I wish the part at 2:23 was brought out more in full recordings, it adds a lot to the chords but you can never hear it over the strings!

Hi, are you still happy with the Newporter after 11 months? I see a lot of negative comments about Fender acoustics, but I'm thinking of getting one. Thanks.

will you have the sheet music?

LOVE this- I have a Juzek brought by my granddad, from the Carpathian Mts- in the early 1900's, not sure exact date - but he played- my father played and now I am playing it again after a 50+ year hiatus at almost 70 yrs old. I love the history of my violin and it is wonderful to see another- what strings do you have on your special instrument ? Thank you for sharing this video-

At 80 I'm happy with a single F.

Ese dolor sordo en el alma. La nostalgia de un amor anhelado, la tristeza de la decepción y el vacio. Esa sensación de que todo acabó y no te diste cuenta. Como olvidas los recuerdos buenos y malos... Como se va borrando cada rastro de aquella persona.

This is way better than I was expecting, the viola fits in so well omg

La canción mas triste de Minecraft sin duda

Keep up the great work Minecraft needs more music like this

Love it 🫡👏

That's a really great performance.

My favorite part of this song is on the piano itself alone ❤😢 memories oh ohhh 😢😰

You are incredibly talented well done

Bro you shred

Thanks for the video! I have a single Amati (unknown age) that is in good shape overall, but is very squirrely above third space C, compared to the F side of my double horn. I am getting the mouthpiece receiver fixed since I noticed all my mouthpieces only go in very shallowly in it (like 5 mm). I'm hoping that might make it more secure, but after watching your video I also kind of want to get one of these horns! There's something about King horns that intrigues me.

Beautiful song followed by a beautiful accompaniment, well done

Show ....estou aprendendo ...a tocar ...trompa ....estou a procurwr esta partitura ....em.pdf ..porem esta dificil....aff

Wow! Your ability to play multiple instruments always amazes me. Another great display of this here. I love low brass as well although I play none. It's always good to see new content from you, Andrew. Thanks again. 👋 📯

Gosh, i love the 1al mouthpiece, one of the best-fitting and most comfortable for my mouth that ive ever tried. And such a beautiful bone to go with it. Beautiful playing as always, keep it up (:

That was very nice bro. You have a very strong noble tone on all of those. Very warm deep Contrabass sound too❤

The equipment I'm playing on: 1st: Jupiter JTB-700 w/Jupiter 10SB 2nd: Blessing B88 w/Bach 5G Bass: Silver-plated Bach 50T w/Denis Wick 1AL Tuba: Yamaha YBB-641 w/Jupiter 24AW

That was absolutely amazing! Very moving! Congratulations on a great and sensitive interpretation!

That cover made me almost cry, I don’t know how does this video don’t have a million views. Keep it up! I love a lot your job 🥲

Bravíssimo trabalho ❤️❤️📯❤️❤️🎼🎶🎶👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Andrew, this is beautiful! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

to me the timbre change with dynamics matter way more than the change is volume

I've owned one of these since 1983. Mine had been a demo model with the NY Phil (at least that's what the Yamaha sales rep stated). So I bought it slightly used: the couple minor bell throat dents were repaired at no cost to me. Played it through college, and 23 years as a US Army Band Horn player. I stopped playing in 2009, when I retired. Now I've picked the Horn back up, started playing again. Needless to say, I have a very intimate relationship with this Horn after this many years (41 😉). Selling point when I originally purchased it was the incredibly easy, secure high register: to that point, it had always been a challenge. This instrument completely transformed my confidence level in all registers, and so greatly improved my Horn playing. It also has great power (volume) without great effort.

Gosh, I love Eric Whitacre's music. Very well done! My personal favorite is October, I try to listen to it on the 1st every year, helps me get into the fall spirit, since i'm in an area that doesn't really change for the seasons. Keep up the great work, you truly play beautifully.

Hey Andrew Stump, You have nice and engaging content, and your performance is awesome. However, it seems you might be overlooking the SEO aspects of your channel. Your video lacks SEO optimization, which is why you're falling behind your competitors and your videos aren't reaching your target audience organically. I think you should consider this. Thank you and best regards.

You’re right on the money about Wessex and Mack Brass coming from the same factory. The company that makes these horns is the Chinese company Jinbao. Jinbao has really upped their quality in the past few years and distributors like Mack Brass and Wessex have been able to build a successful business model from it. I’m not sure about Wessex, but the people at Mack Brass will make small tweaks to the instruments if needed. Either way, these Chinese instruments are solid products for a remarkably affordable price.
