Fergus's warmup is the best

[@StocksIn60Seconds]

The best in the world going at the jokes like it's nobody's business! I love it! Thank you all for what you provide to the world of horn playing; your contributions will forever be remembered and appreciated.

[@csfarnsworth14]

I'm a tuba player, but Fergus is my spirit animal.

[@srr10]

Ten years later this video is still hilarious, and every bit of it is still true. These guys are the best!

[@1flat1sharp47]

"The audience doesn't pay to hear you try." Thank you, Sarah! Good advice for any performer.

[@RaySiow_MD]

I enjoy watching this tough I'm a string player, it feels so good when the partner still having some happy interaction with each other offstage. And also, I just wish that the violin section can make something like this too. Bravo the Berlin Horn section!

[@dflatmajor]

It's the 1st movement from Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 1

[@jaycilangehennig2059]

I'm gonna come back to watch this any day I am needing to smile ❤☺

[@xridemyrocket]

I thought it was impossible to love stefan dohr even more, but he just played the imperial march!!! :)

[@izzygerman14]

I wouldn't be able to play with you because I would be laughing all the time hahahhahahah. You are the Fantastic Four Horns!!!!!!

[@dankafurtw2581]

I miss this video! I love you guys 😭♥️♥️

[@pabloscope]

"Just buy an Alexander!!" Yes, that's right!!

[@TimothyReeves]

What Stephan said: listen to good players and try to emulate the sound. Valves with strings don't need to be restrung very often. I restrung some of mine after maybe five years but they really didn't need it! I'm sure one could go ten years with good string.

[@jamesgikas485]

That Shosty 5 is phenomenal!

[@balthica]

Never underestimate the power of eating a couple of bananas.

[@davidholloway6950]

7:04 Looooool. Stephan’s face

[@TallGlassOfLemonade]

I love them

[@oakroom48]

I wonder if any of these artists have recorded Schubert’s Auf dem Strom? If so, could you post it? Thank you so much.

[@DjRed3394]

what is the right breathing technique? and how do you get such a clear beautiful sound? i just bought a brand new yamaha 668 for 4000 dollars and i get a better sound but not like that :/

[@ManuelGarcia-gy3oz]

I wonder if someone has the transposition of the four Wagner tubas in The Walkirie to Horns in F due to a lack of the original tubas !!! Thanks in advance for the help Manuel

[@LEGITLEGEND4]

What is the excerpt for the low horn playing? I cant figure out how to spell it....

[@ookjai]

Are they all playing Alex 103? Is consistency in manufacturing good enough now that it's ok to order one on-line through a dealer? Most dealers don't carry more than one or two in the states. How can you make sure you get the right one?

[@dkuschausky]

Dimitri Shostakovich - Symphony No. 5

[@DjRed3394]

How do you do that flexabilty thing Sarah did?

[@CollegeBoardSucks]

"So just buy an Alexander..." well, we would if we had the money...(like around 9000 dollars/euros)

[@FlyngSnoopy]

Yay Baroque horn music!!!!

[@BarretDude]

what was that excerpt that Stefan played for high horn

[@kaitoshirogane5563]

Very late, but it's the first horn part to Bach's Brandenburg concerto, and Sarah joins in with the 2nd part.

[@udomwech]

Lovely gang

[@user-ed4jb3in8p]

👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏

[@jeremysolomon2686]

what is the excerpt at 2:26?

[@DjRed3394]

Teach me that flexablility please :)

[@Opusprimo]

Practice, practice, practice... If you buy an Alexander 103 or another professional horn you have the same problem. Buzzing, breathing's exercises, spyrometer, embouchure. That's all the 90% of the work. Well, I'm thinks that. I'm play on a Kalison Conservatory, Lusardi, Crott models and now I'm on a Hans Hoyer full double with detachable bell...I obatin a new kind of sound, a better sound only with practice.

[@user-ob1yg7uq8v]
