A lovely lightweight horn, hand made

in Germany by skilled craftsmen using top

quality materials and parts made in the Finke

workshop.  I know for sure, because several

years ago I visited Johannes Finke’s workshop

and saw it for myself!

 

The Model 66 has nickel silver rotor casings,

whereas its slightly less expensive ‘cousin’, the 63,

has brass rotor casings.

Adjustable finger hook.

Further details: a really wonderful and versatile

hand-made double horn. The build quality and

craftsmanship are absolutely superb.

Every pitch is exactly where you expect it to be,

the rotor action is smooth, light and positive,

and the potential range of tonal

shading is awesome.


 

 A totally beautiful horn in every way.
