Summertime on home made french horn (trompa feita em casa)

[BaileyMGP]

That actually sounds like a French horn. Not a good one, like a Conn, but good enough to tell its a horn. More like a flugle horn in a way. Good job man, I'm jealous. (:

@BaileyMGP Thanks for your time and the positive feedback. Actually, if it barely sounded like a Conn, I would never thought about buying a real Conn! LOL

I guess it sounds good just because I'm using a real horn mouthpiece.

[cadesfunny]

do not compare that piece of shit to a french horn!

[brincher]

@cadesfunny I would say: never compare any home made instrument to a real one. I hope you figured it out before leaving you positive comment...

[cadesfunny]

george gershwin is a very respected american composer he was the first person to combine the only american art form (jazz) with classical music

[brincher]

@cadesfunny to me, he's the greatest american composer. simple like that.

Wow, this is very impressive and very interesting! I am going to make one myself now, and I was wondering if I should buy a trumpet mouthpiece or a french horn mouthpiece. What do you think?

[brincher]

@cornbagel With a trumpet mouthpice you can do the root note, a 5th and the 8th (like C, G, C'). With a french horn mouthpice you can reach some other notes, but it will depend on your embouchure skills. Actually it's pretty hard to get some notes, but you can play 4 ou 5 different notes (with a good entonation) with a french horn mouthpiece.

i wasn't expecting it to sound that close to a horn, this is impressive. I've been playing the horn for 3 years :)

[brincher]

@BrokenBluEyes I "tried" to play the for 2 years, but I quit. It's a very hard instrument and you need a good daily practice time to get better. Now I am a tuba player and, since I am a bassist with 12 years of playing, the tuba became easier than the french horn.

gahhh! i want one!! how did you make it??

[brincher]

@notcrunkzombie In the very end of the video there's some instructions. Actually, there's no big deal. Just a real mouthpiece, a hose and the "bell" (in this case, a half Coke bottle). The key depends on the hose size (length and diameter).

You know with it being a home made french horn, it is really impressive. great work, on this video.

[brincher]

I must say I'm positively impressed you're here, thanks for your feedback.

:-)

ah! e o meu tem um encaixe de torneira pro bocal. mas não deu mto certo...

[brincher]

Bah, bocal é foda, o bom é um bocal de verdade mesmo, seja de que instrumento for. Eu toco essa mangueira aí com um bocal de tuba também, é doido, faço tudo 2 oitavas abaixo.

[giraffevideos]

olha só! eu tenho um bem parecido com esse! só que com um funil na ponta =D ficou mto bom o seu! [aliné]

[ahezir]

Legal demais, Sandrão! Já pensou em fazer uma orquestra com instrumentos assim? ;)

Abraços!

[brincher]

"Orquestra" eu não digo... mas um grupinho modesto já tá até rolando. O brabo é acertar os tons dessas engenhocas, é tudo no esquema tentativa e erro, mas acaba funcionado no final.
