You can play jusc about everything on this light and extremely responsive instrument, which is the reason why some top horn players choose this instrument. The distribution of length is almost identical with that of the double horn, so it is easy to switch back and forth. One water key is recommended. 1.700g

Indispensable for certain pieces. The long mouthpipe and bell branch make the Bb side comparable to that of a double horn. This is also an advantage for the high F horn, so that you will feel very comfortable on this horn. Two water keys are recommended. 2.050g.

Actually it is more logical to go up a fourth from Bb. Intonation, fingerings and sound are more alike than the combination with high F. The length of the high Eb horn makes a full length bell branch possible and the mouthpipe is actually longer than that of a double horn. Three water keys are recommended. 2 100g.

changeable to E, Eb , and D, srnall bell size. With a shallow or semi-shallow mouthpiece it is well in tune in all registers while still sounding like a horn. It sits in the hand like a normal horn and fits in a regular case. One water key is recommended.
1.300g.

Lighter than a normal double horn, the Bb side fully comparable to that of a double horn, and the switch to high Eb without a change in sound, (when you change from Bb 0 to high Eb 2/3, the Instrument is only shortened a half step). A surprisingly good combined low F horn.
Because of the correct placement of the recommended four water keys, they cause no acoustical disadvantage. 2.300g.

The best selling triple horn, incomparably light weight, it is lighter than a normal double horn with stopping valve. A well rounded high F horn, a smooth, romantic sounding Bb horn, and a Full sounding low F horn. All three sides are very well in tune and speak securely. The cylinder of the triple valve weighs less than a customary double cylinder, and this is evident in the quickness of the valves. Slurs using the thumb valves are just as good as those with the main valves. Two or three water keys recommended. 2.600 g

The advantages of high Eb are explained under the other high Eb models. Lighter than a normal double horn with stopping valve. This model most closely fulfills the sound conception of the double horn player. Even the colleague next to you won't be able to teil if you've played on the Bb or high Eb side. A Full forte sound is possible on the high Eb horn and it gives you the necessary security up into the highest range. The Full low F horn is good enough even for low horn players. 3 or 4 water keys recommended. 2650g.
