Wow! Your ability to play multiple instruments always amazes me. Another great display of this here. I love low brass as well although I play none. It's always good to see new content from you, Andrew. Thanks again. 👋 📯

Gosh, i love the 1al mouthpiece, one of the best-fitting and most comfortable for my mouth that ive ever tried. And such a beautiful bone to go with it. Beautiful playing as always, keep it up (:

That was very nice bro. You have a very strong noble tone on all of those. Very warm deep Contrabass sound too❤

The equipment I'm playing on: 1st: Jupiter JTB-700 w/Jupiter 10SB 2nd: Blessing B88 w/Bach 5G Bass: Silver-plated Bach 50T w/Denis Wick 1AL Tuba: Yamaha YBB-641 w/Jupiter 24AW

That was absolutely amazing! Very moving! Congratulations on a great and sensitive interpretation!

That cover made me almost cry, I don’t know how does this video don’t have a million views. Keep it up! I love a lot your job 🥲

Bravíssimo trabalho ❤️❤️📯❤️❤️🎼🎶🎶👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Andrew, this is beautiful! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

to me the timbre change with dynamics matter way more than the change is volume

I've owned one of these since 1983. Mine had been a demo model with the NY Phil (at least that's what the Yamaha sales rep stated). So I bought it slightly used: the couple minor bell throat dents were repaired at no cost to me. Played it through college, and 23 years as a US Army Band Horn player. I stopped playing in 2009, when I retired. Now I've picked the Horn back up, started playing again. Needless to say, I have a very intimate relationship with this Horn after this many years (41 😉). Selling point when I originally purchased it was the incredibly easy, secure high register: to that point, it had always been a challenge. This instrument completely transformed my confidence level in all registers, and so greatly improved my Horn playing. It also has great power (volume) without great effort.

Gosh, I love Eric Whitacre's music. Very well done! My personal favorite is October, I try to listen to it on the 1st every year, helps me get into the fall spirit, since i'm in an area that doesn't really change for the seasons. Keep up the great work, you truly play beautifully.

Hey Andrew Stump, You have nice and engaging content, and your performance is awesome. However, it seems you might be overlooking the SEO aspects of your channel. Your video lacks SEO optimization, which is why you're falling behind your competitors and your videos aren't reaching your target audience organically. I think you should consider this. Thank you and best regards.

You’re right on the money about Wessex and Mack Brass coming from the same factory. The company that makes these horns is the Chinese company Jinbao. Jinbao has really upped their quality in the past few years and distributors like Mack Brass and Wessex have been able to build a successful business model from it. I’m not sure about Wessex, but the people at Mack Brass will make small tweaks to the instruments if needed. Either way, these Chinese instruments are solid products for a remarkably affordable price.

Can't imagine the time this takes, but you have the talent. Please make more if you can. You're singular.

I wish I'd unlocked this power when I was in high school/college. Beautiful.

So talented. So impressed.

The time? The talent? So impressed.

Nicely done! I think I had occasion to play a Vienna Horn once or twice at music shows in the 1970s/1980s, but never had the chance to explore one for weeks on end. I agree with your observations: it's a unique and historical instrument, with a distinct sound. I'd love to own one, and experiment with it as you have. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences! And you're obviously a very talented young musician: best wishes to you, wherever your career leads you! 😀

Hello, thanks for very fine review, I was a member of a youth orchestra back in early 80' in eastern Europe and I had some, leaky Alex 103 playing Beethoven 8th and famous "trio" in the 3rd movement. We played on regional festival, and it was great! Yamaha 668 resembles what I have in my mind as a horn sound. Now looking at retirement as a scientist, I bought about 15 y old Yamaha 322 single and I am getting my embouchure back! Your thoughts about that horn?

Awesome..

Juzek pronounced with a "y," from the Czech Republic. Lovely instrument.

Wait I feel like I know your brother (if you have one) 😅 Do the words "Teen Extreme" mean anything to you?

Lovely playing, Mr Stump, as usual. Les Preludes has always been a firm favourite with the music loving public ( and the Nazis ) with fine opportunities for the Horn players to show their stuff. Incidentally, as a retired semi-pro Horn player with more than a touch of daftness in him, the quartet tune has always reminded me of "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow". Silly I know but there it is. You have to have a good sense of humour to stay with the Horn. Which reminds me of another Horn player's taste for the silly. I was engaged to play in the oratorio "Samson" by Handel. The library copy scores were meant to have all previous markings erased before being returned to the library but our copy for 1st/2nd Horns hadn't quite been cleaned up. The aria "Old Manoah's Joyful Steps" had been amended by a previous player to read "Old Manoah had a farm". We giggled our way all through it at rehearsal !

I got to play 1st horn in Sanctuary by Frank Ticheli in high school. Was by far my favorite piece I’ve played to date. Been playing for 12 years.

This channel should have significantly more than 891 subsribers, more like 800 000. The quality of your horn tone is impeccable and it is also nice to see that you are able to play not just the horn but also violin and viola. I must say it's quite odd that horn players tend to play violin too, certainly more than other brass players. And it's also nice to see this phenomenon because I also happen to play the horn, violin and viola. Well done sir, keep doing what you're doing!

Underrated my god. I have more subs than you. It should be the opposite

:o beautiful!!

Hmmm… if you’re a horn player (or aspire to be like I do) you will notice the high C#. It sounded so effortless that I had to search through all the Andrews to see which one was actually playing it. I think bottom left Andrew appeared a little redder in the face than the others, but who knows? 😂 This was absolutely lovely! The fact that you arranged it is impressive. You are a gifted young man. If I had an ounce of your natural ability my horn journey would be much easier. Your tone quality is something I’d like to achieve if nothing more than to relieve my teacher’s very weary ears. I’m now going to search for some Whitacre to play. Any suggestions for someone with only 2 years on horn?

Very inspiring. Sounds like game music.

Gorgeous as ever!! Which horn are you using here? Also, scordatura viola Ab at 3:13?

What a beautiful story. Now I love your violin too! 😊

I need more from the 4th horn. Otherwise, good work.

Dude when I heard the solo from Luck As A Constant I almost creamed my jeans. You nailed it too. P2 forever.

Lovely. Simply lovely. Thank you for sharing.

Those are so rare and weird! It's basically a smaller Eb Alto version of the Bb Tenor Baritone Horn, similar in concept to the Eb Alto version of a Bb Tenor Trombone. There is a smaller version that's even rarer. It is pitched in Bb Tenor like a Baritone Horn that's called the Bb Tenor Horn. It is the same length as a Bb Baritone Horn but it has a slightly narrower bore and slightly smaller bell. That gives it that sharp classic Tenor timbre everybody loves. None of the Saxhorns have conical tubing, unlike the Tenor Tuba/Euphonium, which gives them all a rich dark tone. In the UK they refer to the Alto Horn as a Tenor Horn & nobody knows why. My guess is probably because it has a Tenor tone in the low range. But like i mentioned, there is an actual fundamentally correct Bb Tenor Horn as well. The Alto Horns don't get used much because they don't have a very wide range, whereas the Horn in F is pitched almost an octave lower in Double F Contra-Alto which gives it that classic rich heavy otherworldly sound & a very huge range from F0 to F6 depending on the player. I'm glad you're a nerd for weird instruments too, pls keep sharing!❤

Those are so cool! I think the crook part is supposed to be on top, like if you rotate it up 180° it's supposed to be like that I think. Nice sound too. Glad you got a hold of one lol

I love your passion ❤. Best gear review I've seen in a while!

What were you playing in the beginning of the video? I love it!

Very nice tone bud!❤

Late, yes ik 😂, but congrats on the new horn and i hope you enjoyed it! That's the first Bb Wagner Tuba I've seen. The double F version, like F Horn, has a more mellow tone but is much harder to play. Do you still play?

Maravilloso

Can anyone tell me if this model is similar to the QA model?

Love this song. Thanks Andrew

So beautiful! 👏 Good to see you back.

There's no telling how much work you put in to make this video, and I commend you! Love to see the lesser appreciated tracks get their due respect by musicians

Where can i buy that model?

thanks for this video, really useful to hear the differences between the two horns. Loved your playing too!

This video deserves so much more attention very..very good job :,)

Bravo!
