Excellent horn for chamber orchestra.
Bright, compact feel and sound with outstanding tonal beauty. Bell proportions provide a dark but singing
tone with fine legato characteristics. Yellow brass produces a higher tone color with more overtones and clearer projection.
Capable of playing pianissimo staccato notes sensitively, clearly, and evenly.
