- Go check out global.wessex-... to see what they have to offer. I was REALLY skeptical but hopeful that these would work out as I know a lot of you will benefit from a horn in this price range! Happy playing everyone. Also, sorry for the autofocus noise. My bad.

#Frenchhorn #horn #FhornPatrick
Thanks for the Wessex review I also bought a double from them and I'm really enjoying it. I have started up re-learning the horn at 68 after being away from it since Jr High School 53 years ago.
I just placed my order! After playing on school horns for the past two years, my boy is going to be happy to have a horn of his own!
Your son is lucky, I have been playing for 3/4 years with a used horn of bad brand and quality ... and I hope to have a new one even if I don't think my parents will give it to me.
Dude, being an 8th grader and playing French horn in my band, you are one hell of an inspiration. Your videos keep me playing even when I don’t want to. Keep up your work man, you are doing amazing. Love your work!
It's $1095 now. Still a good deal, but bummer it's over $1000 now
Im a trombone player who has always been fascinated with the horn and have wanted to learn it ever since i heard its sound. I have no french horn knowlegde or know anyone that plays it so ive always been skeptical on where to buy one. Considering maybe buying this one
Did you end up buying this horn? If so, thoughts? I’m also on the market for a decent quality horn under $2000
Stumbled onto this, I inherited a Martin Handcraft FIVE valve French Horn, all 5 fingers on your left hand have a key. My Dad told me he bought it when he was in high school in the 1930's, he played in University orchestras when he was still in high school and went to OU on a music scholarship. I played that horn through high school and college, a looong time ago. Every time the marching band went to a parade every one of my various band directors would take me around to show that horn off to them, none of them had ever seen a 5 valve French Horn before.
Can you give us an update after a few months or so if you notice any problems? That price is awesome but I'm a little concerned where they managed to find places to cut costs. Awesome video
Of course! You'll be soing the progression of this horn :)
FhornPatrick great, weighing options for college right now, and this looks really amazing if it's a solid as it seems!
All of there other types of instruments have nothing but positive feedback and they put that same care into the french horns. I will definitely update you in a few months. It does not feel cheap in any way as I thought it would. It feels like a solid horn all round and plays really smoothly.
Awesome! Thanks so much for showing this off!
No problem :)
You should do a give away with that horn!!!
first
FhornPatrick I am a beginning band and a French horn player (school owned)
FhornPatrick :v gift me one pls it's awesome
FhornPatrick WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET MORE LIVESTREAMS???
FhornPatrick From one horn player to the other how do you play higher notes??
Hey would recommend this to person going into college?
I really want a double horn but I have a single.😕
sage ana i also have a singe horn, but i want a double. The trigger on a double horn makes it easier to play high, but since i have a single horn, the high register is quite difficult.
Just get it a date
I have a Holton - H178 and I had a chance to play one of these horns. I instantly fell in love with the horn, but they've been sold out forever. I can seem to get my hands on one, so im probably going to call them some time, but when I checked the horn wasn't $895 it was $1,195, still great, just wish it was $895.
For a student that might have a better horn, or a school supplied better horn, it can be handy to get a low cost horn to keep at home for home practice. You leave the better horn at the school. So you never have to lug a horn back and forth to school. (And it also solves the problem of forgetting your horn or leaving it somewhere.)
could you do a few covers on it? maybe one fun pop tune, and one practical piece played in a concert setting?
I want one so bad but they're all sold out *insert sad face here*
SwaggyJay | Quite a few of their products are sold out, like all of their saxophones and some other products here and there. They need to restock some of their items because I would like to have one of their double horns but they’re sold out. I’ll live though.
They’ve been sold out every time I check
You should try piccolo French horn
I know it's while after this was posted, but I just stumbled upon this video and horn is absolutely perfect for me. I was very upset to find that Wessex stopped making them, and I can't even find a used one.
Will this become your main horn or are you still going to using your Alex?
+Brandt Conley i sold the Alex three horns ago.
Whats making that noise
Autofocus on the camera.
Jonathan R. Oh ok thanks!!!
Finally someone who noticed
Bought one as result of this video. Price is now $900.00 and they now offer a detachable bell for $995.
I also love it. It's everything you claim it to be!
Martin Schwartz how has it held up?
I'm currently borrowing an old conn 6d, will look into this
Great!! Enjoy it Martin
I have a school 6D, not a big fan. Do you like the one you have?
I hadnt seen this video and i was wondering what horn you were using when i saw you this weekend at the journée du cor. It was great seeing you there! Good luck in your studying.
Thanks for the review. I ordered one today at a little over $1,000 ... with delivery for March 2020! Yes ... they are STILL on back order. I haven't played horn (first chair university orchestra) since 1979. I'm going to re-learn to play. I always loved french horn ... and regretted that I stopped playing (due to the high cost of owning a good horn).
This helps a ton! My family and I were just looking at horns before I came across your channel. All of them are way to expensive. I am preparing a solo, Nocturno, (I belive you played a bit of it in this) For my school, and I have a really cruddy horn. Thanks so much for this!
I'd be interested to see the Wessex triple horn - any chance you can do a review on it?
This looks like a really good offer for pricing for such a good horn. Unfortunately it’s usually very high cost for high quality horn which makes sense. I’m a trumpet player looking into a professional horn to start playing for college and I really would like to learn but would probably be using a school horn in the meantime. Hopefully they would be able to update on when the horns will be back in stock. Does this horn compare greatly to other professional ones you may have tried? Sorry for my lack of knowledge I’m trying to learn about this instrument.
i got a super old kruspe horn which still has a better sound than most of the new 5000$ horns
Ahh! Wessex was my next guess after Mack brass!
Congrats on the endorsement! You're sounding great man!
Im just getting back into playing my Horn after 10 Years, and this was beyond helpful! Thank you so much!
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who flings my horn all over the place with one hand. Never dropped it. Prob never will!!
I'm student playing French Horn and let me tell you. I've been told that I've got a great sound but you sound magnificent. Thanks for the inspiration to practice. It means alot to know that I've got a long road ahead of me. I'll get there though, in Time.
The sound that’s coming out was like fucking my ears!!! Fuck! It sound sooo good!!
I have a euphonium from Wessex, which I loooove. Prior to the purchase, I heard a LOT of good regarding playability and some bad regarding cosmetic longevity (they have to be babied a bit as the finish wears off faster and some older versions dented easily) , but all things considered, the pros far outweigh the cons at this point in my life. I can't justify dropping thousands at my level but I'm also frustrated with the limitations and ergonomics of a student horn. Even if it turns into a horror story where the instrument falls apart after only 2 years, I still spent less money than I would have by renting a less satisfying instrument for the same amount of time. I honestly can't see a single downside in all of this. The only thing I didn't like was the stock mouthpiece (felt too big on my face), but that's my preference.
I've been curious about the F horns and I've had my eye on them just to have one in the house to dabble on, but I haven't heard nearly as much about them.
I hope you find a horn that works for you :)
Make sure to hold your trigger/keys when emptying those slides! The suction can cause some damage over time 🙏💜
Wondering how Wessex compares with Mack Brass . I love the tone quality you produce on this one!
I don't know how to play horn YET but this WILL come in handy, thanks for showing this off.
Also where are you, is that your classroom?? Ha ha
4:08 i‘’m playing that piece.! Nocturno is an amazing solo. I might play it for my solo and ensemble.
(miDdLe sChoOlEr)
Based on your review I decided to get one for my school program (as well as one of their student tubas). I hope to be able to recommend these to my elementary and middle school students. Having one on hand will help! Thanks for your review!
How is the horn holding up, especially with students?
more strauss solos please.
I went to the website and the price was a 1000 euros. Has it gone up or am I missing something?
Riina Reismaa it may be different due to import fees, taxes etc per country.
Probably :(
Is the low side F? You said "Bb - F", and that made me think it might be a descant horn, which I would love to have.
Duuuude, I just got mine after getting rid of my Andreas Eastman and I LOVE IT.
Hey just wana say thank you so much, your the reason I got into playing horn and I really love it!
Woop woop!! I'm glad you love it!
Haven't taught in a middle school while teaching that did not have Farkas brand.
@Fhornpatrick, is this an F/Bb horn with an american valve-system?
When he started playing Nocturno by Franz Strauss😏
(great piece btw, it’s my favorite horn solo that I’ve learned so far)
I ordered the horn, should be coming in soon. I’m so excited to have my first horn that is affordable. I bought this for 1,195. It’s so crazy how this horn goes out of stock so fast. I’m excited to try it out. I’ll let you guys know soon how I feel about it.
how is your experience on it so far? Ive been considering buying this horn, but havent been sure because of all the negative feedback online.
How has it worked out for you? Considering it for my kiddo
Do you still think this is a good horn? Have 6th gradr student. Been playing for 1 and a half years. School provided horns are terrible. Not many options in area to rent.
So I just ran across your video. Do you still love this French Horn?
hows the horn now after 4 years? Did you return it, or do you still have it today? If so hows its condition? Thinking of buying this horn
I'm buying one today, thanks for the great review.. I will let you know what I think when I get it!!
Dude, I need a finger strap thingy
Easton Santarelli go to andy's music shop thry have them for 4 bucks
Easton Santarelli same!!!
Patrick-Did you get an assigned a discount code to give to your peeps to buy the Wessex horns?
Is it possible to get it without the dragon design?? I'm just not a fan of it.
I don't think so.
FhornPatrick poop
I wanted one of these but your one of the only people talking about it and it sold out so I'm switching to a Yamaha 671d once the music store gets them back in stock
hey fhorn patrick its ur biggest fan
Thanks!
Looking at their site, I don't see the same engraving on the valve caps and keys. Is wessex-tubas.com/collections/horns/products/bb-f-double-french-horn-fh601 the same that you got? If so are these custom because you were in contact with the sellers?
+Martin Anderson you're right the valve caps do look slightly different. They are not anything special for me as I get exactly what normal customers would. The horn I got is the newest version So i think that is what happened. The newest version has the valve caps I got and the site picture is just missing that one detail
Ok. That makes sense. Thanks!
I just bought a horn from China, kruspe wrap, for $500, unlacquered, string, detachable bell. Opted for antique look and chose string instead of mechanical. Will let you know once it arrives.
the limit hey, how did that go? friend of mine bought one from China and it wasn't stringed. having a hard time fixing it
@@kaycijoangstrom7514 The trick is to find the right company in China as there are many junk manufacturers. I'm still waiting for the shipment. I'll let you know once it arrives.
You have changed my life! Thanks for this!
For anyone still wondering in 2024, It is at $1,270.00 now.
I’d love to get one but they have been sold out for a while😢 would you mind reviewing the Thomann French horn, some of them are a bit cheaper as well so I’d like to know how they compare
If only they where ever in stock...
Is it so hard to mute the music when you are trying to play the horn??
Patrick, How is this horn working for you 3.5 years since you posted this. Do you still like it. Has anything broken? It sounded great in the video. Thank you!
I was wondering if you still have the horn if you could give an update on how you liked it and how it holds up after the amount of time it' been. Or if you no longer have it, any reasons that you no longer have it. I'm looking to get a horn, but my budget isn't huge. Thanks!
At the beginning of the school year I broke 5 French horn strings each on a different one. I almost needed to use a single horn because all the doubles were being fixed.
The price went up a bit but would you recommend the removable bell or non removable bell?
This horn is absolutely beautiful!
Patrick and anyone else who bought this horn - how's the horn holding up a year later? I'm ready to pull the trigger for my Freshman as he's using a very beat up middle school horn. Would like it to last through high school!!!
the link doesn't work anymore. are these horns still available and what's the name of the horn?
This is definitely something I'll look into!
I know It's been 7 years, but you played an e with the 12 alternate fingering 😭
WOW I own a FINKE and it was NOT 900 dollars. Great review nice info good sir.
I have an older Yamaha double horn is do you think for a beginner this is better?
Not factoring cost, which French Horn would you recommend? And then factoring cost
Actually, 40 year old school horns are often amazing just abused. Its pretty common pros or music shops buy them and fix them up properly.
Bought an elkhart 6D for nothing I love it.
Bought a Mark IV saxophone, a $7000 sax, for $25
Hi Patrick, after this time how is the Wessex holding up quality wise? Would you still recommend it as a good used alternative to a 567 or 6D? Cheers Isaac
Doesn't seem like this guy responds. Wondering the same thing!
Great video! Do you have any tips for beginner hornists?
That jacket’s sweet!
Thanks Daniel!
Phew even after a year this horn is still out of stock lol do you know of a similar horn around that price. ~1.5k?
It's actually $950 now for the laquered version
I want one!
omg finally i can get a horn!!!! (ive only been using the school's horns in all my playing time which is 5 or 4 years im a sophomore)
Woohoo! Enjoy :)
FhornPatrick thanks! I will!!!
I would love to buy one of these horns, but I have not been able to find much info. How would you compare this to an old dented holton 179?
hey fHornPatrick or anyone here is a pro horn player, id like some help. im having trouble slurring from middle C to pedal C. i had to change embouchure to just play that low note very strong and clear, but never could i slur from mid to low, or low to mid.
Were i come from French Horn are €500 and trumpets are €150
HAVE A FRENCH HORN I WAS THINKING ABOUT SELLING BUT I NEED A LITTLE MORE INFO DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT A PAXMAN WITH SERIAL 3797 L
Hey so I’m looking to buy all the sheet music off your store so how many pieces is that?
How is this horn now
What is the name of The horn?
Could you pleeeeease pleeeeeeease put the sheet music for some of your older music like "Skyrim Quintet" and "Star Wars Sextet"???
Should we be expecting an update soon?
Hey Patrick- Fan and intermittent horn player here. I’ve been playing on a used Conn 8D since the very beginning (~10yrs). Just curious your thoughts on it as you mentioned in this video, “the 8D is a different breed.” It’s worked ok for me, but it has its quirks and obstacles. Much appreciation! -Meghan
I loved the two 8D's I owned. 8D is just a very big sound most of the time and takes some careful practice to make sound tiny. The 8D is just one of those horns that will never go out of style.
FhornPatrick - Thanks for the reply! I think I can agree with what you’re saying with the big sound. It took a while for me to get a nice smooth and round sound with it, but my playing is soft on any instrument, so it’s been a good match.
What's a good college horn
Oh~! Is it available now?
Hola! Tambien toco el corno francés quisiera que hicieras un video en español saludos desde colombia!!!
Looking for original (heavy metal) 8D
Hello! Is this Horn Manufactured in the USA or China?
Ericles Rodrigo on their website I think it mentions they at least used to be manufactured in China but they may be in the UK now and the US (not sure) but if you read on the website they mention they go through professional testing or something and it seems really good. (Coming from a non horn player so take that for what it may be :/)
The link doesnt work for me :(
Spent $900 on a used Conn 6D on eBay. It's 80 years old. Wish I had known about this, and I'm wondering if it would have been better than my Conn.
You could always list the conn. My long-term plan is to do a tour with these Wessex horns so as many people as possible can play and test them. Stay tuned for something like that in the future :)
if it is actually 80 years old it could actually be a pro grade horn
Got one for my elementary school. The little 5th grader loves it. I want to get it in tune with itself so do you have any suggestions of approximate amounts to pull each tuning slide like Conn-Selmer has for the Conn 6D? Thanks!
Unfortunately without having the horn in front of me I couldn’t tell you. Each horn is so different (same with conns Yamaha etc.) I’m glad they love it!!
