Imagine an entire orchestra made from stuff around your house
YES MAKE THAT HAPPEN!!!!!!
There's an orchestra entirely made from fruit. It's shit but the they tried.
A Double Bass made out of a Shelving Unit...

So, step 1. Become a virtuoso horn player.
Kk
he is musician thats why he plays perfect
Amazing tone once you add the funnels. I can't believe a hosepipe sounds better than my horn, or at least, better than how I play my horn.
well later like mid video, he added a horn mouthpiece so maybe that's why it sounds better
Petition to make him compose a concerto for this and to even release sheet music

This world needs more people like you.

I believe you mean the Hosaphone™
The official Hosaphone site is useless now, though.
Just after watching this I went to gardening store and bought items required. It works. That's crazy. Though I have no clue how to play a horn but I might try to learn lol :)
How's it going?😂
When I was in an amateur community orchestra long ago, a horn player (from the professional symphony orchestra iirc) performed the Mozart horn concerto. His horn was clear plastic tubing and a metal funnel.
Bravo! The "Yardium hose" player did great. Finally I can start to learn the Hornless Hose cheaply.
I'm in quarantine rigth now and a few days ago, I figured out that you can play a tone on a plain pvc pipe. To see this video that with some talent you can play propper music on a simple thing like a pipe gave me so much hope and made me exited, thanks!
Btw I dont play any wind instrument, yet.
Just gonna tuck this away for my post apocalyptic music making needs.
Are you kidding me? This is amazing!
This looks crazy at the beginning and then keeps getting crazier and crazier... I love it so much
Okay, good idea for a Father’s Day gift! 😂
he's the neighbor everybody complains about. lol
Jake Paul basically...
I'm blessed with neighbors who care, they got me a trumpet mute and broke my window throwing it at me

I'd join in...
When do we get to hear your Garden Symphony, your Tool Shed Trio, and your Koi Pond Quartet?
I thought the water music was appropriate for such an instrument.
When i saw the title and clicked the Video i instinctively hummed the piece you played at the beginning (forgot the Name...)
And then the music started and I had to laugh... 😂
The point of the hand in a French horn bell isn't to dampen the sound. French horn players put their hand in the bell because French horns are naturally sharp instruments, so putting a hand in it makes it flatter.
Clogged Cord and also because natural horns could only play arpeggios, and changing the hand position in the bell allowed for a different variety of notes without crooks!
Actually, it IS to dampen the sound. After this became common practice, horn manufacturers deliberately started making their horns tend way sharp to compensate for this technique.
Is not that Mozart's Horn?
If it is 'naturally sharp' why didnt they use more tubing to make it flatter and in tune?....
Also the most convenient way to hold it
I was most impressed by the roll the bell plays in acoustic timbre.
Thank you! We will be making this for my son's science project! Absolutely brilliant!
Nice job playing & educational to boot!
Do you have any videos on how to make a hose out of a horn?
Your in trouble when wife wants to water plants
"Your"...
GTFO!
Peter Forrest hahahaha
All the time I was drinking a cup of coffee, I didn't realize I was at step one of making a hosepipe horn!
I never laughed so much, and i mean in a good way. This man is absolutely brilliant
He's my teacher and he's as brilliant in real life as he appears in this! 😂
I've just shown my dad this! Genius!
Absolutely brilliant. Made me smile. Made my morning.
I got hyped when i saw this! do i need to buy a french horn mouthpiece in order to make it sound better?
Message from Martin: A French horn mouthpiece (or trumpet or trombone mouthpiece, depending on the diameter of the hose and the size of your lips) definitely make it sound better. But you can use nothing, or shape a piece of wax to give your lips a cushion (that's what didgeridoo players do). Or a little funnel. Just anything that gives your lips some comfort and room to vibrate.
+Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment Thank you very much for the information!
I didn't know David Coulthard was this talented at making music.
If I wasn't watching you play a hose, I would have thought it was a horn.
こういうことを真面目にする人、凄く良いと思う！
Really inspired me for my Music presentation. Awesomely creative!!!
-Eric
I like the stocks in the background...
If you don't coil the hose and whirl it around has you play, it make makes a very interesting sound, like a bugle band on the march.
Can you make a part two of this video... How to add valves to a hosepipe horn?
That's what i've always tried to do with the hoses i use to clean my acquarium, problem is they're way too short for practical use (not enough overtones). Maybe, i'd have to carve some holes and try turning them into cornetts :D :D .
Just goes to show the physics and acoustics is the same for everything. Just some things sound better than others of course :)
now how do I make a mouthpiece out of household items?
That's really cool, thanks.
At 1:36 the chicken is like
Wut happened this time
Brilliant!
Do you know how Dennis Brain constructed his for the Hoffnung concerts?
He looks like Link from Good Mythical Morning.
Not at all.
OverDosedMonkey lol
Tazim Khan he looks like he could be Link’s uncle or father tbh
Excellent, I´m off to raid the shed as soon as it stops raining. Thanks.
Nicely shot
To think I actually considered buying a horn to play.
I was expecting you to play a hornpipe . . .
In my younger days I worked at a steel fabrication company as a welder. The shop had 20' lengths of copper tubing. Being a brass player, the sight of all that tubing was too much for me. Every so often I would belt out very loud mystery noises when no one was around to watch, making sure no one caught me doing it.
One or two of the comments have been about making an entire orchestra from bits and pieces. I am wondering how you tune the hosehorn, so that it is in tune with your other instruments made from found items.
You have to cut it to the right length.
Incredible
Very nice and funny DIY!
Brilliant and fun!
sounds perfect
This is awesome.
Amazing!
And now for the Two Ronnies to do the lyrics to the Mozart horn concerto. I made horn noises in the garden hose when I was a kid. Outside funnel is better than any restriction near the end. Try cutting the smaller ones to fit over tightly. Food, home brewing, or Ag supply funnel-big. French horn!
You mean, of course, Flanders and Swan!
very clever.i like the pan to the chicken..
This is so nice! I have a few laying around haha. I guess i have made a soprano one with the mouthpiece of my Cornet and Trumpet. The Trumpet MP gives a really sharp vibrant sound. And with the MP of my Cornet it sounds more mellow closer to a French horn. And i have also made a Bass horn too. A really big one with the MP of my Bb baritone. It’s really awesome what you can make with stuff around the house! 😃🎺
Les Luthiers tried it in late 60's with his "Gom-Horn"
This is awesome...
Nice man
he chances de mouthpiece without warning!
bravo
This is awesome
I tried this at hoem bit with a trombone mouthpiece, a 9 inch funnel, and just shy of 50 feet of I inch garden hose. Should I try a bigger funnel?
well I know what I am building today
I was thinking “i bet he’s gonna play The Last Post”
Es muy bueno lo que haces, no podrias subtitularlo en español para el mundo latino !!! saludos
;)
bien ahí chaparrita siempre brindando tu apoyo !!!! VIVA MEXICO !!!!
jaja! claro que si amor Eduardo Ruben Sánchez
wonderful!!!!!!!
I came here because I don't have money for a French horn, I'm not disappointed
José Piper is working on a concerto for Martin.
My friend did that opening song at solo ensemble this year. He plays the French horn and got superior
Darn I know that piece. What the name of that piece used in the introduction? I love it. Oh yea great video ha ha Got to try that.
Mozart Horn Concerto no. 4 it's the third movement
I'm now working out how to make valves out of Gardena bits....
He did switch to a proper mouthpiece which is an improvement.
Incredible👍🏻❤️
I'm thinking of attempting this. Could a kazoo work as the mouthpiece or would that change the resulting sound entirely?
Love the little chicken
Note, with interest, the sneaky bugger substituted a Pukka mouthpiece(ish)
Hi Brian, to be fair to Martin, this is down to clumsy editing. Martin did mention the substitution of the mouthpiece but it was omitted in the final cut. Apologies for this!
;¬)

All this, like tears in the rain.
I want to build a horn out of metal as a project in school. Does anybody know where i can get some information about this?
I'm surprised you've called those stocks when technically they are called pillories.
Otherwise, the video was top. Such ingenuity with household items. Is there a way to add holes to add more notes or would that not work on?
Message from Martin: In England they are called stocks!
Making holes in the tubing would not produce more notes. On a brass instrument you need to add valves to do that. They add or subtract lengths of tube so a different series of notes is available. Might be tricky on a hosepipe, but maybe a mechanism involving taps (English for faucets!) might work. We do sometimes use holes in baroque horns, but just for making some of the out of tune notes in the harmonic series a bit more in tune. I don't like them.
I saw you using that horn mouthpiece for the funnels. Sneaky b*stard! But then you just pinch the lead pipe from an existing instrument.
I was genuinely hoping you were going to have those results with your original concept.
I was from the beginning expecting him to use a mouthpiece because it intrinsically "is not part of the instrument"
Changes the key.
Alex Paulsen cheat
amazingal
And the french horn, trombone and piper off screen..? Well, I gave a thumbs up .
How long should I make the tubing if I want a horn in the key of D?
Halfway through the video (starting 2:53) a mouthpiece is added, but there's no mention of it.
Amazing 😂
I have watched 3 different videos of this stuff and i honestly dont know if this works or not
👍
it also doubles as a beer bong
1:37 chicken is like What the...
Gafa tape and scissors! LOL:D
this is too good to be true -.-
How is he changing the pitch without changing the length?
Answer from Martin: To make a noise I have to buzz my lips, and on 12 feet of tubing I get about 16 different notes by altering my lip tension. The series of notes I can play like this is called the harmonic series. If I then alter the length of the tube I get the same harmonic series, but pitched lower for a longer tube, higher for a shorter one.
I hope you see this as it is a bit of an old comment but if you are changing pitch by just moving your lips, how do horn players like this read and play music? Do they all have perfect pitch to know exact what sound to make with each note? I play a few instruments including piano and violin and I've really never thought about memorizing each notes sound without having to play it to know what it sounds like.
Answer from Martin: Good question!
I certainly don't have perfect pitch. But just like you can feel that your left hand on the violin is in the right place before you play a note, I also have a muscular memory for each pitch on the horn. I admit that the facial muscles are a bit less tangible than the position of your hand, and as you get higher on a natural horn, or a hosepipe, the notes get closer together so you need more and more accuracy with these muscles. That means that we don't always get it right, and that's when you hear 'split' notes on the horn. But I'm a professional, so of course I take great pride in getting this sort of technical stuff right - I've been practising since I was 10, and it's still part of my daily routine. Incidentally, the person who made the comment that this video is simply fake, obviously does not realise that any professional brass player, and a good many amateurs, could reproduce what I did. It's just practice!
Anyway, that aside, of course it does help also being able to hear the pitch before you play. It is this combined with muscle memory (and practice!) that enables you to play accurately. So I haven't got perfect pitch, but I've got good relative pitch, which means that once I'm hearing or playing one pitch I can hear the next one. Or in other words, I can hear a tune, or I can fit in with other musicians using my ears. Admittedly, the first note, 'from cold', can be a problem sometimes, especially if it's a high one. But there is usually something beforehand, even if it's just tuning up. If you listen carefully, you may well hear even experienced professionals playing a few quiet notes before a difficult first note.
Hope that helps.
@@GreatBear1990 It's a little bit like whistleing. You know what note you're gonna make before you start whistleing
Something called harmonics where by playing the same note but changing your airflow, you can play different notes. This is how trumpets only have three valves and yet a 4 octave range. Mainly brass instruments use harmonica but flutes and other instruments without octave keys have them as well
Wow, didn't know Tim Cook could play a tube! Wait... I did...
So the hose is 12 feet long and what is the size (or diameter) I want to make mine ASAP :)
Answer from Martin: The diameter isn't crucial, but narrower is easier to play.
I wouldn't go wider than 1cm. If you are using a brass mouthpiece, it needs to
fit the hose nicely. Good luck!
How can it keep it's characteristic sound even when you're not using a metal!? I know there are plastic versions of brass instruments but it literally sounds like a normal horn
I didn't take the mouthpiece intro consideration..
@@JonatasMonte It's not the mouthpiece. The characteristic sound is almost entirely due to the vibrating air column inside the tube, not the material of the tube...
Now I just got to find some used hose laying around an abandoned house or a thrift shop. Don't think I'd want to buy perfectly new hose just to chop it all to hell!!
lol. I wanna see him walk into rehearsal with this...
What if i painted the hose? Does it affect the sound that's going to produce?
Reply from Martin: Painting it will make no difference to the sound. It's just about the air column inside. If you painted the inside though...probably still no difference, unless it was very thick!
what was the name of the piece used in the beginning
I think that's the third movement of one of Mozart's horn concerti (the fourth one I believe?)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Horn Concerto N°4 in E flat Major, K.495 (1786)
3rd movement: Rondo. Allegro vivace
