Danny Aerden Cornet Solo with Brass Band Willebroek plays on Willson Cornet Celebration

 
Danny Aerden    As colleague and dear friend of Raf Van Looveren, I've been closely involved in the development of the Willson cornet. Raf and I play togheter on a daily base at the Royal Symphonic Band of the Belgian Guides and Brass Band Willebroek. We talked a lot about the development and production of the Willson cornet. And so Raf helped to realize this beautiful instrument. For me personally, the Willson cornet is the perfect instrument in all circumstances, the ideal compromise! The sound is beautiful , big and wide. The Willson cornet sounds free and natural. It's color blends perfectly with brass band music. And yet this does not compromise the transparency and clarity which is certainly necessary at the Royal Symphonic Band of the Belgian Guides. I can adjust well in any orchestra and mix with all instruments, both copper, wood and strings, both wind bands and symphony orchestras. The intonation of the Willson cornet is excellent and easy to correct with the trigger on the tuning slide. The technology and the finishing are like the precision of a Swiss Swatch. On top of this all, Willson has ensured that the cornet is easy to play: each note is easy to play and sounds homogeneous. The air flows easily through your instrument.
Thank you Willson and Raf Van Looveren !

Ce Mercredi 12 Mai dernier, Gabriel Capet a offert au public de St Quentin (02) un concert des plus "carnavalesque" !

 
 
Sa spécialité : "Le carnaval de Venise". Souvent interprété à la trompette, Gabriel CAPET est l'un des rares tubistes français à maitriser totalement ce morceau. Il l'a encore démontré, accompagné par l'Harmonie de St Quentin au théatre Jean Vilar ce mercredi 12 Mai 2010.

Avec une sérénité et une convivialité exemplaire, Gabriel CAPET (Artiste WILLSON) a ravi tous les musiciens présents, ainsi que les quelques 500 personnes présentes au concert. Cet événément était lié d'une certaine émotion entre Pascal Lenglet (chef de l'harmonie) et Gabriel Capet, tous deux étant des "anciens" du quintette de cuivres "Quinte Juste" (Prix de la fondation Menhuin) ...
