So cool! My daughter plays the french horn and I will be showing this episode to her. I love the history as well as the craftsmanship and loyalty to the traditional and original methods. Well done Eric.

Thanks man! It was really amazing.

Very nice process and fun how it ended with a nice happy laugh at the sound made from it.

That is my favorite episode of this show so far that I’ve seen!! Loved it.

This is such a Beautiful video. My Family LOVES Horn Concertos, Trumpet Concertos, ETC.... They are not My Favorite Instruments but they are pretty much right up there.

@23:28 capillary action... this is amazing. Great work!

Such a fun episode to watch! I love seeing a husband and wife working together, whether it's making a lovely French horn or an amazing bamboo fly rod! What a blessing to see a couple enjoying sharing their craft and their lives. Life doesn't get much better than that!!!

Thanks so much, Eric. And Rick & Celeste: Wow!

Fantastic show! It is wonderful to see craftspeople cross-pollinate and share their common goals and skills. I'm a hornplayer too and love playing instruments built by these wonderful artisans. Thanks for a great show and to Rick and Celeste for the great insights!

Awesome

I loved this episode! I didn't know anything about French horns until I saw this. It was very interesting to learn about how they are made. So much work goes into them!

Wow, amazing craftsmanship. I always have loved the sound of the french horn. This was an eye opener on how they made these with different loops for the keys instead of the valves. Amazing!!

Hi that’s awesome quality work patient very happy two beautiful couple working as team as always you both be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸

This is amazing! What talent!

Eric thank you for sharing all of these wonderful videos! Thank you 🙏 😊👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I really enjoy your show. This should be on network TV. One critique...more close up of the work. A show suggestion the hoosier bat company.

@@CraftsmansLegacy Oh, I grew up on PBS. I got rid of my TV in 2011 sooo. Yes it has a very woddrights shop feel. Shame we can't get more good TV like this. Now its just dudes making sparks in grinders. Where is Max headroom when you need him?

A warning to all: The pitch being used is likely tar pitch which is highly carcinogenic and hence why it’s not used anymore. In the old days they used to manufacture asphalt for roads using tar, however nowadays they use bitumen instead due to the health issues. Bitumen and tar are both hydrocarbons, but different molecular structure.

This was not tar but your information is great and very much appreciated!! Thank you

"I have proven to myself I need to stick with the drums".... Well heck man, it worked for Neil Pert ...

This is so cool. I'm a trumpet player and I love stuff like this. But, I have to disagree with Rick. A trumpet is more versatile than a horn!

Being that it didn’t take too long to bend the tube with the pitch in it, do you think ice would work? It would be easier to remove …….lol 😎

@@CraftsmansLegacy it was a 3/8” wall about 18” long, we ran testing on how to bend it. It did fracture big time but we were only bending shallow bends. It was 25 years ago so I can’t remember everything perfectly lol. A few years later we tried it again with a double wall tube tube and found steel shot with capped ends worked best….we even built a tube bender that bends the tubes so if the tube broke the steel shot would no fall into the main bearings of the machine and destroy them. Necessity is the mother of invention…….
