The horn is a completely unusual musical instrument, which, unlike the idea of ordinary people, requires a special attitude and handling skills, the very same music extracted from this unusual instrument is called "horn".
Instructions
Step 1
When people talk about the sounds extracted from the horn, they inevitably imagine a hunt, hounds, a hunted animal. Even in pre-revolutionary magazines devoted to hunting, one could find notes that mean special signals to the beginning or end of a round-up hunt. Such sounds, as a rule, indicated that the action had begun and it was time for the shooters to move forward.
Step 2
Traditionally, horn signals are denoted by two notes denoting the "C" of the lower and upper octaves and can be played long or intermittently. To learn to play the horn, you need to be patient and prepare for a long and serious practice, trying to tightly press the mouthpiece to your lips, depicting lingering and intermittent play, low and high "C", which in musical circles are referred to as "that" and "that" respectively. The combination of such lingering and intermittent sounds has a special meaning, which should be known to all hunters participating in the raid.
Step 3
There are signals associated with the hunt for foxes, wolves or other animals, they can mean the detection of prey and the command of the hunters to reload their guns. Two lingering lower and upper notes taken after each other indicate that the beast is driven, the combination of one lower and one upper note, played melodiously, indicates the end of the hunt and a warning that it is time to unload the guns and return home.
Step 4
Interestingly, in the old days, only special ram horns were used to make such wind instruments, they were used to give a variety of signals, whether it was hunting with greyhounds or the most ordinary fight. However, in the first half of the 20th century, the production of horns was practically discontinued, which had an extremely negative impact on the methods of communication between hunters, and already in 1960, traditional horns were again put on stream in various factories of wind instruments, their standards were invented and forms. It is believed that the most convenient shape of the horn is the shape of a crescent; it is recommended to throw it over the shoulder so that the mouthpiece is in the chest of the trumpeter. Twisted horns are also widespread, which have a completely unusual sound and are very convenient to use.
