There are so many solid players; players I like to listen to. Pyatt and Vlatkovic are the only ones I want to emulate - beyond liking their sound, I think "I should try to sound like this." Pyatt has such a wonderful mix of overtones. Nice compensator (Paxman 33), by the way.

I have noticed some amazing players playing these compensating horns, must play really well

[@gabrielbutts8528]

the paxman horn allows you to Play much fuller and has such a majestic sound...hope I can afford one one day

true

To those people that are wondering, this looks like a Paxman model 33 Compensating double. The extra valve lowers the pitch the correct amount when hand stopping the Bb horn. It's an interesting choice of instrument for an LSO player. I wonder why he didn't buy a full double or even a descant/triple? The F horn is scary and a lot less secure than Bb - maybe that's why.

I hope I can play as well as you although i'm only a grade 5 horn player: )

[@juanramos7938]

What kind of mouthpiece is he playing on?

[@clintow]

I suspect it's a Paxman 4B

[@btsgolden]

What piece is he playing around the 5 minute mark?

[@aregan91]

He did buy a full double...a paxman 20 which he plays on a regular basis!

[@doctorwho6348]

Ha ha

[@clhrn]

Well, shit.

To be honest, I don't like his Till Eulenspiegel
