Bravo to Paxman for making/designing another fine instrument ! I remember working with Bob and Dick on the American Triple, and bringing the first one back to the US in 1976.

Better than your Lewis?

Beautiful, I love the Paxmans, not playing one at moment, but only because I wanted a shiny horn and I could not afford a new Paxman. One day I will. I hope. Interesting no mention of slotting as I find slotting more important on a horn. Amazing in England, UK we do not talk about Geyer at all, seems an American concern which bugs them.

Love it!

Paz Deus irmão que linda trompa

Hello, I bought a paxman 20 M a few months ago, but I can't figure it out with the tuning and I find it very closed. Could you tell me if something similar has happened to you or what could be due to it. Thank you very much. Congratulations on your interpretation!

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

Hi Tim. I would love to see a photo of Ab Koster with his triple horn. Great vid.

I prefer the sound he makes on the Paxman, compared to the Lewis. Really nice!

I have two paxmax descant horns (M40 and M45). I bought the M45 by visiting a store in London. This video is a very nostalgic video. With these instruments, I could quite easily play Weber's Concertino, Richard's No. 2, and Schumann's Hi-A. Although it is a descant horn, it has the same sound quality as a double horn. Therefore, I think it is the best musical instrument in the world, surpassing Alex103.

This lacks one downside of the two common 5-valve single Bb configurations (F-extension + St, or C-valve + St), because in both those cases the descending stop-valve and tubing are extra weight (easy to clean, since they see so little use). On this design, that tubing doesn't exist. The weight is between the weights of the two popular 5-valve designs. Since 1-3-St gives the E-horn harmonics on the Bb horn, 1-3-4-5 should work similarly for this design (think "low F# and pedal Bb"). The ascending C-valve horn helps with high Ab, A, Db and D. The ascending Eb-valve on this design helps with high Bb, C and D (and double high F, if that's your thing). On paper, this looks great. Definitely worth trying.

Wow - such a quick response to the article! Great. A number of questions arise, like, is a production run likely?

How to get a model 20 Paxman? First of all sorry for my terrible English, I'm French... So my teacher tell me to take a model 20 of Paxman professional horn. Where is the place to buy it?

You need to talk about Dick's original model with double linked rotors to get the air running in the same direction. I've only seen two of those and that was about 45 years ago. Bob, Dick And I talked into the night after closing time, at the Nag's Head, about His ideas and design solutions. Wonderful memories...

I wish there was a recording of Brain playing the zelenka horn concerto

The way you handle them they look very light weight.

Marvelous performance to hear!

Thank you both for this marvellous performance of a gem from the repertoire. I believe it was composed in 1888 as a silver wedding present for his parents, and published by Boosey and Hawkes in1972. The theme from Verdi’s ‘Force of Destiny’ was perhaps a favourite of Franz Strauss?

Good give one as gith please i'm horn player

Excellent thank you. I feel it would be nice if you add the names of the players being shown in the second part of the video. I can recognise most, but not all of them!

Always glad to see you guys and the new website looks great! Wondering if there are any plans for a Centenary-like version of some of the larger sizes like a 20L.

Nicely explained Tim.
