My main horn is a hybrid of a flugelhorn a coronet and a trumpet, but that's really because, for me, each instrument to me had a different voice, and I liked them all, but I didn't like any one of them singularly.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Each instrument has something to say to you. It's got its own character. Each horn has its own character and will say to you certain things. If you violate that, it's almost a sacrilege!
I play the baritone horn - which is like a mini tuba, and is the least sexy instrument you can choose, and I generally say I don't play one so I don't have to acknowledge it. I also play fife.
I love horns, and the bigger the band, the better it sounds to my ear.
If you've only got one horn playing, I still want the sense of ensemble.
I can play every instrument there is, every horn, I've played all the saxes and trumpets and everything and keyboards.
I enjoy singing, and the instruments which truly move me are the horn, the trumpet and the cello.
I love the French horn.
I was curious about experimenting with different colors - kind of like having an expanded orchestra. Suddenly, instead of just writing for strings, you can add bassoon and oboe and brass. I like these extreme differences in sounds right next to each other.
I've played everything but a harp.
Horns always influenced me more than voices.
