today i learn about the french horn
Brass Family instruments produce their unique sound by the player buzzing his/her lips while blowing air through a cup or funnel shaped mouthpiece. To produce higher or lower pitches, the player adjusts the opening between his/her lips. The brass family can trace its ancestry back to herald French horns, hunting horns, and military bugles. The main instruments of the brass family include the trumpet, trombone, French horn, and tuba. As with other instrument families, the shorter the tubing length, the higher the sound and the longer the tubing length, the lower the sound.
The horn or French horn consists of about 12 feet of narrow tubing wound into a circle. The player obtains different notes on the horn with a clear mellow sound by pressing valves with the left hand and by moving the right hand inside of the bell...on top of that, it makes wailing sounds which in time i will learn are rather pleasant.
it is also a friend's favourite orchestra instrument behind the lesser used piano.
oh well...sleep sleep. night.
and all the best with EEs..whoevers up doing them. my time will be tomorrow. as for now, ippt for NS seems like a more worthy cause to sleep for.
