Here's a snippet of Moscheles's Introduction et rondeau écossais, Op.63 which I chose to play on this Webb/Halstead natural horn - this instrument is part of the Webb Collection which is held at the @rcsofficial.bsky.social in Glasgow and ...

Another horn from the magnificent @rcsofficial.bsky.social collection. Again, a Scottish inspired choice of music (a bit from the slow movement of Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 3 "Scottish" - and there is a reason to play it on an early valve horn!).

Another smashing instrument belonging to  Mark de Merlier. This is an original Haltenhof horn from 1773 - my choice of music is, admittedly, a little anachronistic but, given the shape of the instrument hand technique feels very unlikely on such a horn!

What an utter pleasure! I’ve been a big fan of Los Pitutos for ages (fellow horn player and just epic person Matías Piñeira is in it, hence me discovering it)… so when the penny dropped and I realised that the lovely tenor, Álvaro Zambrano, whom I was accompanying is ALSO in the band 🤩🤩🤩

More video snippets of horns I've recently had the pleasure of trying out - this is an original 18th century horn by Carlin of Paris which belongs to a very dear colleague and collector, the splendid horn player Mark de Merlier. I was very honoured to have a bit of a play on it!
