CHARACTERISTICS:
FOCUSED AND SAFE CONTROL, SLIGHTLY RESISTANT WITH A SHINING 3D PROJECTION.
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.
“I am extremely pleased with this Instrument! It gives me a lot of assurance and inspiration, yields beautiful colours and has very good projection. The sound carries to the back of the concert hall even when I play very quietly.”
