Double horns

Our double horns combine exceptional craftsmanship with remarkable ease of play. Thanks to their precisely balanced construction, they respond instantly, require very little physical effort, and allow for relaxed, natural performance. Each note locks in securely without the need for additional pressure — the instrument reacts immediately while remaining reliably controllable.

Every horn is crafted exclusively by our own master craftsmen, who shape every detail by hand using traditional techniques. Selected materials of German origin and the meticulous coordination of all components ensure tonal presence, stable intonation, and an impressively effortless playing feel.

Through ongoing collaboration with experienced horn players and professors, we continuously refine our models. This results in double horns that meet the highest professional standards and impress musicians worldwide with precision, expressive capability, and exceptional playing comfort.
