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

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) ... |
