Not only does he play all these instruments as well as anybody you'll encounter, he plays several dozen other instruments too, many of them very obscure. We're talking archaic and rare instruments from around the world, and some unique setups/tunings that he was involved in developing. Not to mention, he can self-engineer and record parts for your song/composition if you contact him, no matter where in the world you are. He might be the only true genius I've ever worked with.
ALL I CAN SAY AFTER PICKING MY JAW OFF THE FLOOR IS THAT MR. RORY HOFFMAN IS TRULY ONE OF THE MOST GIFTED MUSICIANS I HAVE EVER SEEN AND I'VE SEEN AND KNOW MANY GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR GIFT WITH THE WORLD.🎼🎸🎹🎷🎤🎼
Funny how all the instruments are played right handed except for the stringed instruments played lefty and on his lap. His fretting right hand almost looks like it's hitting keys on a piano. Amazing.
settings on a clarinet and sax aren't fit for a lefthander. First time You pick up a guitar Your less dominant hand will grab the neck. Your dominant hand has to be able to play rythm that's why stringinstruments are played this way. That's not the case with clarinet/sax/hobo etc. Sometimes You see lefthanders turn the accordion around, him being so young, they probably had it in his lap this way and as he said, You get used to it. but You'll understand it is not so 'easy' to do with a piano😜 ( PS I'm a lefty myself, I know the struggle)
Wow I knew you were great but you are even more talented skilled than I thought before. What saxophones WOW. I am. IMPRESSED. by your abilities. What playing banjo too lap style that I had never dreamed of ...
The only other person I can think of, with this kind of all-round musicality, is the UK's Roy Castle. He was an actor, singer, dancer, comedian, tv presenter, & he just happened to be able to get a tune out of ANY musical instrument, & he often played music on things that weren't even instruments........ like teapots, or household radiators!! He presented a bbc show based on the Guinness book of world records, called Record-Breakers, & often attempted to break some records himself, as part of the show!!
I bet if they didn't tell him to stop, he would have kept changing instruments and playing...the melody that never endssssssssssssssssssssss ..AMAZING!!
Anyones disability can be turned around into possibility and positivity. Nothing is difficult if you never tried or you think it is. Just have patience fun and passion into life and music into everything
Tell me a brain that can do this evolved out of the primordial muck!!! God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over [g]all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” (Genesis 1:26) ... and in Rory's case ... over every musical instrument.
I could look up every single positive abjective in Websters Dictionary and still not describe how amazing a musician Rory Hoffman is!!! 💯💫😁
Not sure whether to be thankful to be in his presence or depressed at my own relative ineptitude
+miroslavsafin this is how i feel
Both.
Spot on

Here's a video of him playing a variety of obscure instruments: ua-cam.com/video/s7rLTcJ1Qss/v-deo.html
A real multi-instrumentalist. Amazing, truly amazing.
A few days ago, I saw Rory with the Transatlantic Guitar Trio. He's absolutely mind-blowing. And he's an amazing vocalist as well.
He is super musical! Greetings from Rio de Janeiro Brazil
that guitar playing in the lap is stupefyingly amazing

Wow I knew you were great but you are even more talented skilled than I thought before. What saxophones WOW. I am. IMPRESSED. by your abilities. What playing banjo too lap style that I had never dreamed of ...

This brother is a god amongst men. End of flipping conversation.
He just played on my single.. I can't believe how lucky I am. Gave me exactly what i asked for and I am over the moon
Someone needs to promote Rory. In the old days he would of been super famous!
I guess the good Lord blessed him with supernatural musical ability, in exchange for his eyesight.
Love his tone on the clarinet
What an incredible talent!
I've play jazz guitar for 45 years and for the first time in my musical life i'm seriously thinking of puting it in the closet.
And drummer too.
I bet if they didn't tell him to stop, he would have kept changing instruments and playing...the melody that never endssssssssssssssssssssss ..AMAZING!!
Awesome.... wow!!
