Shimane-pref. Japan; student of Professor Masayuki Yasuhara; graduated from the
Tokyo College of Music. Tomohiro Yamamoto is a horn player with the Tokyo
Philharmonic Orchestra. To me, the most important thing about a musical instrument is the quality of the sound. I have played an old Kruspe French horn for many years, and I very much like the sound quality on the Kruspe. I had the opportunity to play a Willson French horn and I really liked the sound quality on this horn: it is very rich with a deep resonance and a soft sound. The sound suits my style very well and I also appreciate the speedy response on the horn with free blowing which is also a very important feature of a fine quality horn.

In Salvation Army circles, Philip also continued to progress. The Territorial Youth Band provided another opportunity for him to hone his skills, eventually serving as Principal Cornet on a number of those annual courses too. His outstanding ability eventually led him to membership of The International Staff Band's solo Cornet section and then to be the featured instrumental soloist in The Salvation Army's 2007 Gospel Arts Concert in London's Royal Albert Hall.

Since the competition, Philip has featured as a soloist at the International Trumpet Guild Conference in Boston, USA, and is receiving more and more concert invitations from all over the world as his playing career takes off. In July 2008, Philip attended the London Symphony Orchestra Brass Academy Course and won the "Candide Award". This is effectively most outstanding player of the week award.
