“This remarkable instrument reflects the craftsmanship and innovation Klaus Fehr was known for. The horn delivers an outstanding air stream with remarkable freedom, enabling seamless transitions between notes and a vast palette of tonal colors. It offers impressive flexibility across the full range, a resonant and singing sound, and a carefully balanced resistance that ensures excellent intonation and stability across all registers.
The instrument provides a rich palette of tonal colors, from dark and mellow to bright and brilliant, enabling me to shape the sound precisely according to the musical context. Its singing quality and broad sonority allow the horn to project beautifully, whether I am playing in a soloistic setting or blending within an ensemble.“
