Arrangement: Rubank Christmas Carols
Instruments:
1st: Cornet, 1910's JW York & Sons "Perfectone" - long-form
2nd: Horn in Bb, Bavarian, late 19th Century, unknown maker
3rd: Eb Tenor Cor/"Mellophone", 1920's? Frank Holton & Co.
4th (bass): 2x Ophicleide in C, 1880's/90's, Millereau - French, 11 keys
5th: 1890's "Superbone" (valve + slide combination trombone), Besson (English)
6th: 1880's Valve Trombone, CG Conn, 'Elkhart & New York'
Fun fact: I switched between valves and slide on the "Superbone" over the "verse" and back again at the last "chorus", but I didn't have a chance to capture video of it due to a battery-low camera.
Fun fact 2: Lots of autotune and takes were necessary to get these instruments anywhere in the same pitch area.
Fun fact 3: I have found, as I have in previous years, I am dreadfully unqualified to play cornet for more than 10 minutes.
