Hi there! There's a definite lack of information about the various different Contribussoon makers out there on YouTube, so I thought I would make a video about this instrument. This is a Musmon Contribussoon, and I first heard about it from Steve Braunstein of the San Francisco Symphony, who played this instrument a couple of years ago, or an instrument similar to this, and really liked the sound and suggested I contact Miller Marketing, who is the US distributor for Musmon Contribussoons. And I should stop and send a big thank you to Justin at Miller Marketing for sending this instrument to me for my review. I'm going to point out some of the unique features of this horn, and it could be sort of boring for me to do that, but let's face it, you're on YouTube looking for Contribussoon videos, not videos of puppy dogs on skateboards. So yeah, it might be a little boring, but at the end I'll play you movement from the Bach cello suites so you can hear how it sounds. So to start off, the instrument looks beautiful. It's got a beautiful finish. The wood is really very pretty. It's also a light instrument. The weight is not as heavy as some of the other horns that I've played, which could be handy if you're doing a lot of digging and carrying the instrument around from point eight to point B. It's nice to have a little bit of a lighter horn. The geometry of this horn is also slightly different from some other Contribussoons, and the result of that is that the bell is a little bit closer to your right hand fingers. So there's not as much room to wiggle around in there, and if you flail your fingers when you play, you might end up hitting the bell a little bit. The Mousse-Mont Company has put foam where the rollers glide along, which is a unique touch. I think it's meant to quiet things down a little bit. It also makes the keys feel a little bit squishy, so that's something unique to this horn. The key work is very thorough. There are two models of the Mousse-Mont Contra that they offer. This is the base model. The more expensive one has additional key work. But even this base model has lots of rollers all over the place, which help make playing a lot smoother. Particularly on the left hand thumb, you can see there's rollers for every note, which lets you get all the way down to those low notes real easy, which is nice. The most unique roller on this instrument is the second octave key, which has a little black marble embedded in the key, which rolls around. You'll notice that this particular one makes some noise, and I'm not sure if that's the way it's supposed to be, or if it's able to be quieted down somehow. That's what you'll hear as I play. Also the Mousse-Mont features adjustable junctions on the keys. Here you've got a little screw, which lets you adjust the height of the pad, which is great because you can make adjustments to things without having to send the instrument into our pair of hand, which is very handy. The instrument comes with two vocals. There's a K1 and a K2 vocal. These are a little bit muted in sound compared to the heckle that I have. Even with this vocal, the sound is big and full. The instrument blows very easy. It seals very nicely, and so it's got a nice big sound, which is cool as well. So without any further ado, I will play for you the second menu at from Box Jello Sweets on the Mousse-Mont. Contribus. Thanks for watching.
