what does he do when takes the right hand out of the bell? cleaning spit? changing  key?

[jbonet2003]

It´s to change the intonation. In the natural harmonic series many sound are out of tune.

@jbonet2003 yeah, i know that, but i mean

what does he do when he takes his hand OUT of the bell and stops playing at 1:08

[jbonet2003]

@ericoschmitt

When I play the A flat in the low register, I use the sounding G, and try to play as high as possible. For that if you take your hand out of the bell the pitch goes higher, because the normal position of the hand inside the bell makes the horn sound a little bit lower than normal. It´s me who play in the video, javier Bonet and I hope this helps you to understand the question.

1:47 = so cool! Is that his hand or a lip trill?

[jbonet2003]

starting with the hand, the two o three first notes and then lips..

Well played! Valved horns sound boring in comparison. I see why Brahms called them "brass violas" and preferred the natural horn.

[ericoschmitt]

@jackiechan237 thanks! thats what i meant, i didnt know natural horns had spit valve :) but i think thats good, otherwise he would have to play the entire piece without cleaning, and the sound might stop

well, my modern double horn doesnt have spit valve, i have to take off the tuning slides sometimes! i hate it

[jackiechan237]

@ericoschmitt

he is clearing spit at 1:08. the spit valve is a modern attachment to this copy instrument.

[ericoschmitt]

@jbonet2003 thanks! and congratulations for you playing :)

im starting on horn now, as my 7th instrument, and i have always liked natural horns and trumpets, its nice to see someone playing one of those instruments so well

ive got 2 more questions: can that be played with a double horn by holding the thumb, 1 and 2, so you can retune it to G and play as a natural?

and, how do you get the spit out of it if there is so many tubing and no valves?
