BB/F FULL DOUBLE HORN
MODEL 2
CHARACTERISTICS:
TAKES THE AIR NATURALLY IN EXTREME DYNAMICS FROM PPP TO FFF.
RICH AND CARRYING SOUND.
Musicians value Klaus Fehr double horns for their secure intonation, comfort in the high register, and great flexibility.
Their projection is excellent, even in pianissimo. The wide range of overtones in their sound blends very well, even with horns of a different maker.
