For more than 180 years, we have been crafting mouthpieces for the French horn, blending deep craftsmanship with musical passion. In close collaboration with professional horn players and university professors, we create models that meet the highest demands in both response and tone. Made from durable German materials and precisely handcrafted, our mouthpieces are tailored to the needs of each musician. Whether for orchestral playing, solo performance, or chamber music – a French horn mouthpiece from our master workshop stands for tradition, precision, and joy of playing at the highest level.
