This is exactly what I needed when I had my first horn, a compensating double - I had no clue about any of the things you have talked us through. My Tune A Day book did not explain it! My teacher had to try and work out what horn I had over Zoom, as I started learning in lockdown. Brilliant presentation. I learnt lots. Looking forward to Chapter 4!
The design of the Vienna horn is (usually) a single F horn, so follows the way the single F works. The main differences from the regular F single are that the Vienna horn uses the Vienna valve (or "pumpenvalve") and has a narrower bore. Thanks for watching!
keep up the good work! I went into the first video thinking I'm going to get a good reminder of some stuff, no I actually learned quite a bit! I ll keep following!
You know how you said F open is the standard. Not in Norway! Every horn player I know plays on the Bb side. I recently went to Paxman in London to buy a double horn. I was super confused when the instrument played the wring note 😂. Luckily we had it switched before my plane home
It's the same in the UK, as almost every player plays on the B-flat side, but horns (being the traditional things they are) are still supplied as sitting in F as standard. Like you, I've always switched mine to sit in B-flat.
I know of a science professor whose family name is "Triplehorn"--I don't know the origin of this name, but it's interesting to see that such an item exists! As I mentioned in a comment under your Chapter 2 video, I own a century-old Conn 6-E "French horn alto" which was advertised as a substitute for the French horn. I've had to explain to people that this instrument is NOT actually a French horn--I prefer to tell them it's an old-fashioned mellophone. Its sound is somewhat different to that of the French horn.
Ha, ha! That’s a cool name. Might change mine to that! Although those instruments (like we both say) are not French horns, they can be great instruments. Where I teach we’ve got 3 nice ones that we use with tenor horn (UK)/alto horn (US) students to help them switch to a French horn as a kind of intermediate stage
It really depends. I guess most people will prefer the sound of the 4 valve Bb in the higher register. Certainly for the work that I do I’d certainly choose the Bb. Video on the Bb (and the drawbacks of the Bb) single coming up on Friday I think…

So glad you like it, Sally!📯❤
Where does the Vienna horn, used by the Vienna Philharmonic fit in the list? Thanks for the very informative series!

That's great news, thanks!
I learned several things, too! This is an excellent presentation.
Excellent! Thanks @@bobjacobson858
Thanks @@bobjacobson858 Great news!
Please create a video that shows how to efficiently empty the moisture out of a triple Alexander horn. Thank you.
Emptying water coming in Chapter 14!
@@dontfearthehorn thank you Sir

Hi Sir. Compare to single Bb with 4 valve and Single F, which one is better in sound and calm sound
It really depends. I guess most people will prefer the sound of the 4 valve Bb in the higher register. Certainly for the work that I do I’d certainly choose the Bb. Video on the Bb (and the drawbacks of the Bb) single coming up on Friday I think…
