Grandfather's Clock - Air and Variations. Tenor Horn(s!!)

[@naomijones6590]

Been playing the tenor horn since I was 7 and it honestly has such a beautiful sound, there's so much you can do with it! Very mellow at times but you can still get that real brassy sound if you try! Learning this song right now in the brass band I'm in. Lovely to see more horn players around.

[@harwoods11]

So lucky that your two other triplets all play the horn to a professional level to. 👍

[@TomsTenorHorn]

Thanks for listening damage 🤣🤣🤣 they're better players than me but I'm better looking 🤣🤣🤣

Hi , i really like this piece i also play the tenor horn but not to your standard (i use the besson BE152 with DW2)

[@TomsTenorHorn]

Thanks for listening Vortexx, keep up the practice and you'll get better ... the DW2 is still a good choice, good luck with the playing 👍

[@helmutsfeldmanis7732]

Hi.. Your playing is brilliant. I am coming back to your videos again and again. It inspires me so much. I wish I could play just a little like you.

[@TomsTenorHorn]

Hi there Helmuts .... thank you for listening. We all improve with practice and to be considered an inspiration by someone is a great compliment! Many thanks and best wishes from Tom:-D!!

[@TomsTenorHorn]

Thanks Peachy ... you're welcome and glad the videos have inspired you in some way. Best wishes from Tom:-D!!

[@kornettisten1]

Fast fingers and a perfect pitch as usual, very enjoyable (right word?) Thank you for sharing Tom! :-D

[@TomsTenorHorn]

Hi Kerstin ... thanks for listening. Brass band joke : How do you get three tenor horns to play in tune? ... tell two of them to take it up an octave and then leave it out :-D!!

[@tetuyamakino7154]

I wonder if playing alone all ? It is amazing

[@TomsTenorHorn]

+Tetuya Makino Hi there ... yes, all the parts were recorded separately and then mixed together using Adobe Audition software.Best wishes from Tom:-D!!

[@tetuyamakino7154]

+Mags496 Grandfather's Clock is also sung as a children's song in Japan, but I prefer this performance. Because because an image likes Blas's central ring, and shifts from the original piece of music to a Japanese children's song.

[@gameboyextreme]

Amazing, I love it, what mouth peice do you use? :D

[@TomsTenorHorn]

Hi there WhittySalmon and thanks for listening. I have recently swopped over to an Alliance 2A ... from a DW 3. Slightly wider cup, sharper bite and shallower than the Wick 3. Seems to give a brighter sound and maybe better intonation ... but I still do like the Wick. What do you use?

[@gameboyextreme]

Mags496 I normally use DW 3 aswell but might have to try out a 2A like yourself a :) once again fantastic playing

[@TomsTenorHorn]

WhittySalmon Cheers WhittySalmon ,,,, worth giving it a go for sure:-D!!

[@Dippyhull]

Sounds good - are you accompanying yourself?

[@TomsTenorHorn]

Hi Dippyhull and thank you for listening:-D!! Yes ... it's just the piano accompaniment transcribed for three horns and then multi tracked. Do you play Tenor Horn?

[@Dippyhull]

Mags496 Use to play >10 years back - Not these days - I used to with some of the east Yorkshire bands for a while... among other instruments arround the band but horn is my fav!

[@TomsTenorHorn]

Dippyhull It's never too late to make a comeback ... on horn of course!! Best wishes from Tom:-D!!

[@Dippyhull]

Aye of course... well maybe Tuba at this rate - my kids playing in a wind band with no bass lol :-)

[@Dippyhull]

Mags496 Carzy fact for the day - the hotel where the clock in question was found - is the same one that I had my wedding reception in (to another horn player!)

[@katherinehan1211]

Hi I also play horn in my brass band I would like to ask you can you show use a new video on you raise me up

[@TomsTenorHorn]

Hi Katherine and thanks for listening. I will look into that one ... I don't know of any arrangements for that piece. Best wishes from Tom:-D!!

hello

[@TomsTenorHorn]

Hello Vincenzo and thanks for listening :-D!!

[@bobsbeats3950]

See how much easier that thing is to carry? Not to mention not putting forth 8 hours worth of effort only to get 2 hours worth of playing

[@TomsTenorHorn]

Hello Rob and thank you for your comment ... but it makes absolutely no sense to me!

[@bobsbeats3950]

@@TomsTenorHorn it probably shouldn't. sorry
