Natural Horns

The natural horn is the predecessor to the modern French horn and has neither finger holes nor valves. As a result, only natural tones according to the harmonic series can be produced. The instruments were recorded in the relatively dry and controlled environment of our second studio, the Silent Stage, and offer all typical articulations.

Overview

Natural horn with ten different tuning slides for utmost flexibility: Bb basso, Bb alto, C basso, C alto, D, Eb, E, F, G, A
Performed by hornist Marcus Schmidinger at the Silent Stage
Short and long notes, dynamics, legato, flutter tonguing, performance and fast repetitions
Mixer Presets for authentic placement at Synchron Stage Vienna
Switch off internal reverb for placement in any virtual acoustic environment

Tuning Slides
Different tones are produced by adjusting the embouchure and changing lip tension. The technique of stopping – inserting the left hand into the bell in various depths and angles – allows for fine-tuning the off-pitch tones and even producing chromatic notes that are not part of the harmonic series. In order to play (harmonic) scales in differing keys, various tuning slides have to be used.
