“15 years ago I tried a Kruspe F horn in Berlin. Its tone fascinated me so much that I decided to buy a single F horn. Now I’ve finally found one that blows just as freely as the old Kruspe. The overtones are perfectly tuned, the valves move lightly and the sound is just as I had imagined it would be. Finally, since the F horn is the direct ancestor of our double horn, I like to use it when teaching!”
