Hornpype: Kuhlohorn Duet

"Les Carillons" by Johann Philipp Kirnberger (1721-1783), performed as a duet on my restored historical Kuhlohorn* from 1900.
*The Kuhlohorn is a German Fluegelhorn from the early 20th century. The original builder was Ernst David of Bielefeld, whose workshop closed after WWII. Restored by Jochen Stucky.

I have no idea how or why or where I got my hands on this little piano score and had also never heard of the composer until now, but I found it as a loose sheet whilst cleaning and am glad I did! I'm always searching for music that is suited to or can be tweaked for playing on this horn that I love. Thought I'd go back to my brass roots with this project since my love for trad/folk wind instruments was discovered initially as a result of my fascination with historical brass instruments - scroll down on my page if you'd like to see some of my "weirder" instruments in action if you're a fellow geek!😁

schöne Sendung

Die Kuhlohörner wurden zu Unrecht aus den Posaunenchören aussortiert.
Ich habe noch so ein Teil.
Schön, dass es nun wieder eine Renaissance erlebt. Prima die beiden Frauen.

Obrigado! :)

Beautiful! Are these instruments rare?

[@lisahartl8050]

Out of the older/historical makes in particular may be, since the original builder’s workshop closed in 1945. Kuhlohorns are still being built today by modern manufacturers, though!

[@eriknystrom5839]

I think Musikhaus Beck makes them??

[@rafaelfernandeslopesdeoliv1700]

Is the embouchure for this instrument more similar to a french horn or trumpet? Anyway lovely sound.

[@lisahartl8050]

It’s the same as for trumpet! It is a type of trumpet, really :)

[@rafaelfernandeslopesdeoliv1700]

@@lisahartl8050 thanks. Hopefully i can get my hands on one someday.

[@lloydrobins6074]

@@lisahartl8050 Actually, any flugelhorn is actually based on the bugle, like a cornet. The trumpet is a completely different instrument. And the embouchure is more like that of a cornet than a trumpet, but trumpeters have managed to adapt trumpet embouchure to the flugelhorn in their own way. Your sound is very good - much more like a horn than a trumpet.

@@rafaelfernandeslopesdeoliv1700 You can buy a new one from Musikhaus Beck. It is listed as a flugelhorn.

Zum anderen gefällt mir der Klang des Kuhlohornes, so warm! Ich glaube, das Musikhaus Beck hat auch eine Serie von Nachbauten des Kuhlohornes aufgelegt

@@wilfrieddannheim8659 vielen Dank! Ja, vielleicht werden ich mir eines Tages ein modernes besorgen, bin aber momentan zu sehr von alten Instrumenten fasziniert :) (und vor allem sind die auch viel günstiger...)
