The sound of the english horn has to have the most beautiful sound. I'm playing oboe right now, but if I get to play english horn, that would be a dream come true for me. I love the oboe, but I just love the sound of the english horn more. I love reed instruments that have a warm tone. :D
@@DanielRamirez-rg8qy I actually have had the chance to play one since I last commented. My college has one, and they're letting me borrow it because I'm in the orchestra.
It’s the same thing when you switch from Flute to Piccolo. Albeit there are more colleges that are offering degrees in auxiliary instruments. Bravo Pedro!!!
@@dianadelcid8299 The English Horn isn't a Horn, it's an Alto Oboe because of its role. The naming of the Oboes in the family should be by their role and range.
@@jsaavedr1 I disagree, they sometimes call the English Horn an F Alto Oboe cause it has the same range as another instrument the F Alto Sax. The range of an Oboe & a Sax (as long as they're in the same key is pretty much the same. The reason I think of it being an Alto Oboe is because they reassigned the roles of the Oboes (and the naming just like the Human Voice) in Oboe Ensembles (they double as Oboe sections in Bands etc) as various members of the Oboe Family were revived.
Ghost Toast unless it was a special order, fox never makes English horns in cocobolo wood, and, the fox factory isn’t located in New York. It’s located in Indiana.
I'm guessing he is a fabulous teacher. His explanations are profound. And his playing...perfection, really.

@@RoseCadenza It's aka Alto Oboe because it has an Alto Voice.
It's exquisite. :-)

As an English Horn player myself, I can say that you have the sweetest tone ever! Bravo!
Most beautiful. It sounds like literal heavens opening up.
I could listen to him talk all day
Bravo Pedro, very proud of you!

Only the English Horn could play that passage from Dvorak's New World Symphony. Any other instrument would have diminished the intended effect.
Agreed.
Recorder
Bassoon
Soprano sax?
@@Xingqiwu387 I prefer the name Alto Oboe
Superb player
He's right, I do recognise Dvorak's Cor Anglais solo ... from the Lord of the Rings soundtrack.
Actually, many french companies buy the reed material in northern Spain, in the Ebro valley
We played Largo in 8th grade and because no one played English Horn the solo went to the saxophones!😡
why didnt an oboe do it
or a bassooonnnn

@@RockStarOscarStern634 Actually, the Oboe D'Amore is the alto Oboe, the Cor Anglais is the tenor Oboe.

Upstate NY? I thought Laubin was Peekskill NY near NYC.
down here in Manhattan people think Yonkers is upstate...
@@gxruiz1 : Eh!, I know you!. you play Baroque Oboe!
Its too bad Laubin has a 14 year wait list for English Horns right now
No way! How much $$?
I believe pedro has a Fox English horn
@@ghosttoast2073 Uhhhhh........no.
Ghost Toast unless it was a special order, fox never makes English horns in cocobolo wood, and, the fox factory isn’t located in New York. It’s located in Indiana.
@@ghosttoast2073 He is a Fox representative but plays primarily on a Laubin
The English Horn isn't a Horn, it's an F Alto Oboe
