Gut gespielt! Ich bin eine Jägerin aus Deutschland und lerne derzeit das Fürst Pless Horn zu spielen. Ich stehe noch am Anfang und es hat mir Spaß gemacht, Ihnen zuzuhören 📯

[@brassfromthepast5149]

That is really great. I’m very glad that you enjoyed watching the video and I hope that it was beneficial to you. I’m sure that you will be very good at it. Just put in lots of practice. Thanks very much for watching.

[@ericdugas7332]

Thanks so much, dear trumpet buddy, for this other great video. I liked very much to see and hear those horns.

[@brassfromthepast5149]

You are more than welcome Trumpet buddy. I am so glad that you enjoyed watching.

[@anthonykaiser974]

Saw one, I forget which size, in a music store in Regensburg. Being a trumpeter from way back (80s-90s), it's on my list.

[@brassfromthepast5149]

You should go and grab it. You will enjoy playing it. Thanks very much for watching.

[@johnwalker5206]

That was the "notification sound" that the postman played in the main square of the ancient towns of Europe.

[@brassfromthepast5149]

That is really cool, I did not know that. I’m glad that you enjoyed watching the video.

[@maxmustermann8663]

The Clewing Horn sounded better than I expected! Does it need higher pressure than it's elder brother?

[@brassfromthepast5149]

Thank you very much. Yes the Clewing horn takes a bit more effort to play then the other Huntinghorn. It is somewhat like playing a piccolo trumpet. But once you get used to it it is not that hard. Thank you very much for watching.

[@cordulaevelyn1]

You just made our day! My bugle boy has the larger Fürst Pless Horn, but that mini one looks and sounds awesome. My boy pointed out that it looks like a donut. 😂 If you are interested in the sheet music for all the German Hunting Horn Calls (and Germans are pretty serious about that 😉), let me know and I’ll send the link.

[@brassfromthepast5149]

I finally got around to making a video with these hunting horns. I thought y’all would really enjoy it. The small pocket Hunting horn does look like a doughnut, ha ha, I never thought about that. Yes, please send me the link to the hunting horn calls. I do have some of them but I would love to look at the link if you can send it. I’m very glad that you all enjoyed watching the video.

@@brassfromthepast5149 While the description and titles are all in German, the notation system is universal, I guess. Here is the link for pdf format that I printed out for my bugler: www.noejagdverband.at/wp-content/uploads/Deutsche-Jagdsignale.pdf

[@brassfromthepast5149]

@@cordulaevelyn1 Thank you so much for sending this link. It looks like it is a great resource. I have seen a few of these but definitely not all of them. It will be fun playing through all of these. I sure appreciate it.

[@cordulaevelyn1]

@@brassfromthepast5149 if my bugle boy and I ever figure it out, we can do a virtual duet in harmony. The greeting (Begrüßung) has six different harmonies, four for hunting horns and two for French horns. Not sure if we can get together enough horn players for that kind of undertaking. 😂

[@brassfromthepast5149]

@@cordulaevelyn1 that would be awesome! I would love to hear and see it. I think there are a few free apps that allow you to record and multitrack with yourself. And I imagine there are some really good ones out there that you probably have to pay for. I eventually want to start making videos like whenever I have time.

[@edgardodelisi8634]

Amazing!

[@brassfromthepast5149]

Thank you very much and thank you for watching.

[@BeKindToBirds]

How similar would these be to hunting horns used in the 19th century?

[@brassfromthepast5149]

These are very close to what they used in the 19th century. Not really much difference at all. Thank you for watching.

[@BeKindToBirds]

@@brassfromthepast5149 cheers!

[@Rhakor]

Uh nice, I have an Old Fürst Pless Horn from my grandfather.

[@brassfromthepast5149]

That is very cool. They have been around for a long time. Thank you very much for watching.

[@MKlukowski]

Great demonstration. Are the mouthpieces similar to trumpet mouthpieces?

[@brassfromthepast5149]

The mouthpiece on the larger Huntinghorn is very similar to a trumpet mouthpiece. However, the mouthpiece on the small Huntinghorn is one that only fits that particular horn. It is a very small mouthpiece. Thank you very much for watching and for your interest.

[@BrudSprunki422]

I've been wondering what these sound like cool

[@brassfromthepast5149]

Now you know how they sound. Thank you very much for watching.

[@BrudSprunki422]

The first one I'm actually getting one just like the first one the second one not the first

[@N02505]

How hard is it to learn this?

[@brassfromthepast5149]

These hunting horns are relatively easy to play. Very similar to playing a bugle. So if you have ever played a bugle you should not have any problem at all. They play quite well. But if you are new at playing a brass instrument this would be a good one to start on. It is relatively easy to play. Good luck and thanks so much for watching.

[@titanuranus3095]

What was the signals you played?

[@brassfromthepast5149]

If you go back to the video and look directly under the title it will say more. If you touch on more it will Open up the box with more information about the video. Thank you very much for watching.

[@gto2898]

Are furst pless horns similar to bugles?

[@brassfromthepast5149]

Yes, they are similar to bugles as far as the notes that can be played on them. But of course they are totally different in the way they look and the way they sound. Thank you very much for watching.

[@hansbrackhaus8017]

Ayyy, that pocket horn ain't too shabby. Looks a bit like you could use it as a pipe, too, though. Lol.

[@brassfromthepast5149]

It is a fun little horn to play. I never thought about using it as a pipe ha ha. Thank you very much for watching.

[@hansbrackhaus8017]

@@brassfromthepast5149 It would probably be a waste/shame to actually smoke something with it (and possibly a health hazard, too...) but, the size sure is fitting :P

[@cordulaevelyn1]

Not sure if KZbin lets me share another link in the comment section, but I posted the closing ceremony that our Troop did at Fort Point National Historic Site in San Francisco after a 10 mile hike across the Golden Gate Bridge and back. It was very windy, but my bugle boy could be heard anyway. The scouts were just struggling to get that big flag down and properly folded. 😅 kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5W9hYx3fb1rfZI

[@brassfromthepast5149]

This is a great video. Thank you so much for sharing it. Your bugle boy sounds great. Yes, I would say that they definitely had a difficult time with that flag because of the wind. But they did a great job. And he is sounding really good. Tell him to keep up the great job and keep practicing. Thanks again very much for watching.

[@Tubajock2]

The pocket sounds and looks like mine

[@brassfromthepast5149]

That’s really cool. Thank you very much for watching.

[@simangkanpariyar6903]

Its very nice . Where did you get it?

[@brassfromthepast5149]

I found both of these horns on eBay many years ago. Thank you for watching.

[@rafaelfernandeslopesdeoliv1700]

Why would they wrap it in leather, for better grip? Or just for aesthetics? I think it makes them uglier.

[@cordulaevelyn1]

It’s to protect the metal from the oils of the human skin, which can cause damage to it.

[@brassfromthepast5149]

I imagine it is for a better grip when holding the horn and since it is usually cold outside during the hunting season it would be an insulator so that it would not be so cold to the touch. Thank you very much for your interest and for watching.

[@cordulaevelyn1]

Also to prevent corrosion , as forests tend to hold a higher humidity in the air. I have never learned so much about hunting horns until now. 😂
