Stupid question: Why are they putting their hands into the instruments (at 1:26 for example)? Is it meant to be played that way?

I just want to geek out for a second and share this video which explains it a bit:

The hand in the bell is used to shape the sound. It's not as important now as it was in the earlier stages of the instrument's development when it was necessary to play a complete scale, but there's still a lot of interesting things modern horn players can do with their hands to shape the tone of the instrument.
Since we now have a teaser song (discounting the tracks we've heard during livestreams), (presuming main theme for EoD). Will the it and the rest of the EoD soundtrack be uploaded to the Anet official soundcloud on release day?
All will be revealed soon. Stay tuned!
As a Korean, I can recognise a lot of stuff from traditional Korea(Joseon era) in sounds and the real contents too. The queen has a wig called 'gache' which was often worn by noble/royal women, but also I see some NPC wearing clothes of styles from that era.
For the soundtrack video, I see some traditional instruments - daego(Korean barrel drum), daegeum, pyeonjong, taepyeongso, piri(I think it's se piri in the video), and I guess there are more than them - geomungo, haegeum...
Well, so, what I want to say is, It looks like ANet really wanted to show something other oriental than China or Japan, featuring Korean style mainly. I can't say Cantha is fully based on Korea(since Cantha is a really really big super magnificent empire and this idea is mainly from China), but I can say ANet mainly did it. I mean, I can see some Korean stuff, but It's not fully Korean things, So, this even looks creative to me as a Korean.

Just want to say from one professional classical musician to another, 100% your music for Guild Wars is THE best video game music out there! Really something truly unique and evocative.
I usually listen to your music on Spotify but is there some way I could listen that would benefit you better? I want to support my fellow artists as much as I can!
Bravissimo, Maestro!
Hey, thanks! I'm no Maestro, though. Just a guy who likes making music :). Thanks for listening.
