A superb,very lightweight free-blowing horn,l hand made

in Germany by skilled crafts-persons using top quality materials and

parts made in the Finke workshop.  I have visited Vlotho and

observed their superb workmanship for myself.


 

The design and general architecture of this Finke model is that

of an original CARL GEYER double horn, with its wide hoop

and small diameter change valve.

 

Further details: a really wonderful and versatile hand-made

double horn. The build quality and craftsmanship are 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 colours is awesome.

This is a lightly used 2nd hand horn in excellent condition.

 

Case: 'Fusion' very well-padded gig bag with back pack straps.  

 

 A totally beautiful horn in every way.
