Battle of the Alpine Horns
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 авг 2017
- Once a year, the world’s top alpine horn musicians gather high in the Swiss Alps to compete for a special honor. The Valais Drink Pure Festival in Nendaz, Switzerland, is an international meeting of alphorn players where the best of the best come to play the iconic elongated horn in its traditional Swiss setting. While 16-year-old Tim Lin might seem like an unlikely alphorn enthusiast, he is quite the prodigy. Born in Germany to a Chinese father and a Belarusian mother, Lin took home last year’s top prize in the youth category, and hopes to do it again this year.

Mr Worldwide.
My wife is British Jew and I am mixture of Chinese and Mongolian.
Our kids will be a very interesting mix.
Would be cooler if he was Swiss to be honest.
"Youth dancing, some kind of wrestling..." lol I love that he didn't really look into it a whole lot and was more interested in his alphorn

"Some kind of wrestling" is actually called Schwingen a traditionally Swiss sport.
Riiiiiiiiicoolaaaa !
I can't wait to see if PewDiePie will actually get to this level of alphorn playing
petition for pewds and KSI to participate in the next contest
I was hoping to find a comment from this.
i don't thinh he cares enough to practice lol
@King Alejandro Yup, have been using Instaflixxer for months myself :D
Everyone: Woah that is so cool and unique!
Me: *thinks of Ricola man*
YES I AM A 8 YEAR OLD AT HEART
Congrats. The best blower.
Ilsunny Lo my girlfriend should play the alphorn, shed be great at it.
@@wvttie That's pretty impressive considering she doesn't have that much materials to practice with.
Thats what she said
I bet he gets so many chicks in Switzerland. Hey baby want to come over and hear my alphorn?
So cliché

How do they transport the horns tho? It looks way too big to fit in a car
It's usually 3 parts (4 if the mouthpiece is separate, not quite sure sorry) that are being put together you can kinda see it at 0:34, it shows an alpine horn with little wooden intersections which are used to fit the parts together, they can be protruding pieces as seen at 0:34 or made so that the individual pieces cannot be distinguished from one another
you can see him carrying it in his gig bag at 0:39
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
In juice category
It's so nice to see that there are more assholes like me out there, that IMMEDIATELY detect shit like that, sometimes it's a burden :D
How beautiful is it that they can play... with real clouds floating in the background? Its just so surreal
This actually strangely really interest me. The locations these instruments are played also really help.
I've been skiing twice in Nendaz but never knew they held alphorn competitions in the summer!
Finally, a trumpet with no hassle!
Would this event perhaps be sponsored by Ricola?
I work in an automotive shop... one day one of the guys was working with some PVC pipe on some line that needed fixing in the shop and he walked by with a 7 foot or so section with a 90 degree bend on the end and I said
"REEEE COOLAAAAA"
Nobody else thought it was funny but I laughed until I cried.
Andddd this festival is now on my bucket list
REEEEEEECOOOOOLAAAAAAAAA
Takes a lot of breath just for one blow, so amazing
He is so southern omgg, I love the alpine folks they have such nice traditions

HE WON WITH A BROKEN FREAKING NECK

This battle will go down in history.
No reason to ask why you play the alphorn. You play it because the music is the voice of your soul. I hope your soul can always feed on this music.
Beautiful instrument with Beautiful people playing it.

@@Jean-MichelRONDIO Thank you! I just listened. Very peaceful, thank you! Were those actual Alpen Horn or electronic simulations? Do you have a video of your playing? Thanks.
@@CuriousEarthMan No, I don't have a video of my game. I compose with a keyboard connected to my computer. This track is made with a new ethnic sound bank from East West: "RA". These are virtual instruments. JM.
So fascinating…and congratulations on your 1st place in youth category. 👍🏻

REEEEEEEEECOOOOOLAAAAAAA
I bought a flute once for the same purpose. Perhaps I should finally learn it. And go on skipping in the mountains while playing a cheerful tune.
I would like to learn how to play ocarina to mainly learn Celtic music.
that would make one hell of a dab pipe to pass though....
*P R I O R I T I E S*
Riiicooolaaaa
RIIICOLA!!!
Beautiful! I'm glad you get to enjoy it!
super
come on ksi its a nice flute..
how you ship that thing? does it come apart like legos.
It's that's guy from those cough drops commercials
Homie: "Yo, I just came up on an Alpine."
Me: "Dang, no way? Where's it at?"
Homie: "Aight, bet. Lemme go git it."
**Comes back dragging one of these horns**
Someone get this man to host meme review👍

He said lucky but I'm sure he meant happy. It's a common false friend in English for German speakers.
The view tho...
So Jimmy comes from Switzerland? He plays that thing perfectly.
bruh im 16 and mad at myself for not being as cool as this guy
GOD MADE THAT INSTRUMENT JUST FOR THEM!
THAT SEEMS TO BE THE PERFECT SOUND FOR THAT BACKGROUND

Alpe hurnei! Greida,greida,greida.
Can you learn me this?
I want one!! I have like a tiny one and its so loud
Well it's not a real one but something similar
I would hardly consider the story of a 16 year old playing an alp horn a "battle"
Yo my girl is on this app chillllll
When he said “buttons” I was sooo mad, it’s called keys bro
EEEEEEBOLAAAAAA!!!!!!!
I didn't think there would be that many horn players. It doesn't look like that popular of a thing.
Warwolf 1 when i was in zug i never heard the end of the alphorns
When i turn on caption the instrument is called iphone
R I C O L A
Tuskski
bro
Bruh
so its a big wood bugle?
Imagine when pewds and KSI finally master the alphorn, they will have a battle of a century
i see on captions is i play the iphone
Dang this is a pretty proud... sport?
could you use that as a pipe and smoke/
They’re just mimicking the sound fifteen minutes after eating Taco Bell.
RIIIIICOLAAAAAA
Holy shit
Palep if u make those letters in the right way what to u get
Reeeeecola!!!!!
