I played this at a concert today in my school - exhilarating stuff. although with a cornet, not a tiny trombone or whatever that thing is.

[MrDriftking632]

what type of euphonium is that one

[orichalcum1]

@MrDriftking632 - Besson Prestige with a Kelly 5G....

[MrDriftking632]

@orichalcum1

its a very nice model i have a sterling

[ThrillFinatic]

@MrDriftking632 My Sterling is terrible, so I bought a conn instead :3

[MrDriftking632]

very good i also play the euphonium



[calum6371]

I much rather see a french horn in the mix than a trumpet!

[orichalcum1]

@calum6371  - it's an interesting thought Callum... haven't ever seen James Morrison playing the French Horn.... but I bet he'd be amazing at that too!!!

[calum6371]

I think the mastery you of all the brass instruments is amazing! I played for french horn for 7 years, got to grade 7 but never really enjoyed it. So I started piano instead, please check out my version of this piece :)

[4sophia8]

have you always played the trombone as well - since a kid i mean?

[orichalcum1]

@4sophia8 - Hi Sophia.... interesting question. the answer is no.... I took up the trombone in 2003 (when I was mid 30s)... took up it up because I had a student that wouldn't/couldn't learn her scales... secretly the trombone is my favourite brass instrument - wish I could play it better! thanks for the question....

Jimmy the Lip is a gem. Forget all this dead composers stuff, I use him for all my contemporary sessions by artists like Otis Redding, John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix

[Troiano220]

Awesome! I like how OOPS shows up on the screen towards the end on euphonium. Kind of shows us that you too are human!

[orichalcum1]

@Troiano220 - Thanks for that.... It was unfortunate to split the G - but the higher stuff and lip trill were quite good after that so we had to let the split go.... after all it is art and not science. Happy Tooting!

[Troiano220]

@orichalcum1: Loved it though. Gotta go practice my euphonium now

With lips and fingers like that it's no wonder you're a hit with the ladies!

A truly virtuoso performance.
