Did not realize the maple horns had such smooth sound across the entire range. Marvelous performance and performers, too; but the sound is startling at the top. Almost makes me want to start over as an oboist / Cor Anglais. Thank you.

I am loving the increasing use of Maple for making English Horns - it adds such a warmth to the sound, and we're not wasting rare tropical trees to make them

Che suono!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This would be REALLY interesting (and probably beneficial to your company) if you were to re-master this with an English spoke overlay, or enable verbal translation, which is a recent option on UA-cam. I studied German to O-level, but the technical nature of this video makes it hard to follow. I'm sure the English speaking rest of the world would be grateful. Please let me know if you can do this and I would be happy to share the video across my social media channels. 👍👍

Bravo. Se gli Oboisti non si offendessero direi che Il Corno Inglese è il più bel strumento ad ancia . Suono vellutato, misterioso, sublime, nobile. Bravo ma brava anche la pianista che non ha azzannato la tastiera del Piano. BRAVO!

Excellent insight into the manufacturing processes🎼Wunderbarer Einblick

Boring piece of music. Nice instrument though.

Looks so good and sounds amazing. Of course mr. Thomas is fundamental on the "amazing sound" part.

You could have performed the whole Hindemith sonata... 🤔

Is it turned from European Maple, or North American Rock Maple?

Remarkable instrument - I wish you still made saxophones - I have two, a knackered tenor and an alto worthy of restoration.

That is a beautiful sound. If I win the lottery this will be my first purchase 🙂.

I have a Gebrüder Mönnig alto saxophone - an Exquisito 🙂

It's so nice to hear the English horn. It sounds like a Soprano sax with the resonance of an oboe

Faszinierende Einsichten in die besondere Herstellungskraft der beliebtesten Holzblasinstrumente! Mich würde interessieren, welches der Instrumente am schwierigsten herzustellen ist.

I struggle to realise I have stumbled upon this video!!! I have a Gebrüder Mönnig "Exquisito" alto saxophone and a Gebrüder Mönnig "Exquisito" tenor saxophone. Sadly the tenor is not worthy of restoration but the alto most certainly is :-)

Die machen auch tolle Geigenbögen, ich bin mit meinen sehr zufrieden.

Nice performance! Very interesting variation of English horn. More like "alto oboe" instead of the traditional sound. I noticed a low Bb extension in the closeup. You would have to stand or sit in a high chair, or the bell would touch the floor? :-)

👍🏻❤

“Ach du lieber, mein schatz”! What a GORGEOUS INSTRUMENT!!! Wonderful sound! Looks like the wood is a great favorite of mine - “CURLY MAPLE”!! My two most beautiful custom made black powder muzzle loading rifles are in Curly Maple. The .58 Hawken Curly Maple is moderate in curl. My .54 John Philip Beck flintlock is in “TIGER CURL”, or on the “WILD SIDE”! A “knockout”!!! The music Rixson Thomas played here was a very poor choice - NO REAL MELODY like the famous incredibly beautiful Wagner “Tristan und Isolde” English Horn solo! I also love how Jose Antonio Masmano plays too. I guess I’ll never really know what really makes the English Horn, or COR ANGLAIS, SOUND the way it does! That mello haunting sound pierces right into my heart - it’s ADDICTING!!!

“Ach du Lieber, mein schatz”!!! Yust started to watch this video, BUT where are the “English captions”???! This video would mean so much more IF I could understand what is being said! Of course I’ll continue to watch. Solange! “Auf wiedersehen“ und Gesundheit”!

WOW!!! “Ach du lieber, mein schatz”! What a fantastically mello & haunting sound! How can one not fall in love with it?! It’s “ADDICTING”! So many fine “Cor Anglais” players out there, but Rixon Thomas & Jose Antonio Masmano are probably my favorites, without listening to others in depth! I still need to know WHAT exactly makes this instrument SOUND the way it does! Is it the wood, the “bore” or it’s shape, it’s length, the curved neck??? I’m in love with this thing!!!

Do you have sound clips for each bassoon model?

Sublime, un magnifique son de cor anglais plein, juste, chantant et absolument envoûtant, particulièrement bien mis en valeur dans cette pièce de Hindemith, à laquelle il donne une couleur quasi onirique... Un grand bravo monsieur Rixon Thomas...

Ich war damals in den 1960er jahren oft mit meinem vater in der firma..er spielte oboe im sinfonieorchester in jena. Kann mich gut erinnern an die werkstatt..auch fa. Adler..

Ακόμη ένα εξαιρετικό όργανο από την κορυφαία εταιρεία οργάνων Monnig. Έχω ένα αγγλικό κόρνο της Monnig, που παρέλαβα από τον Δάσκαλό μου με διψήφιο σειριακό αριθμό τουλάχιστον 70 ετών. Απίστευτος ήχος, ποτέ δεν με έκθεσε.

Too much reverb to really judge the sound of the instrument.

Interesting that this English horn has a bell, not a bulb... Lovely tone!

Ainda irei comprar um oboé de vocês.

Very good! reverb?) equalizer)?

Aí está, uma empresa que eu gostaria de trabalhar com maior orgulho e prazer, instrumentos musicais de exeletissima qualidade!

Excellent

Simply fantastic! Rixon Thomas will go down in history as arguably the best English hornist ever.

The lady on piano is really feeling it. You can't help but love that rich sound truly lacking in the usual somber nasal quality. The Mönnig Bass Oboe is also made from maple. Would love to hear how it sounds as well.

Absolutely beautiful. Looking forward to you posting the remaining movements.

He could make a pvc pipe sound great. If I can make it sound great, then it is truly a great instrument.

Sounds really great!

Is the mönnig bassoons same as the moennig?

Execelente :) ! I wish too see Oboe d'amore 170am, do is possible?

Incrível.

Sem palavras...

Divino.

wer spielt da in 11:38 Marcello?

A wonderful glimpse into the world of the master craftsmen. We musicians are in debt to the makers of these incredible instruments forged by Moennig/Adler. Thank you.

what composition did he play?

Rixon Thomas' tone is my life goal. Incredible performance

Hi Rixon I'm currently at Frank and Meyer in Berlin trying cors. Am trying to decide between a maple wood cor and a Richard Wagner model. I feel the Richard Wagner cor has the edge but the maple wood is appealing in its own way. I believe you own both types of cor. Do you have a preference, or do you apportion different roles to each instrument accordingly? It would be great to have some feedback from you. James

Rixon Thomas is my absolute favorite English hornist. His tone and dynamic range are simply extraordinary! He could play a frying pan and make it sound gorgeous. Does anyone know if he uses a German / French / American scrape? The world is so lucky to have him. Now if only composers would get busy composing more for this wonderful instrument.
