F/Bb Double Horn · Model 503
Model 503 has been chosen twice as the winner of the German Musical Instrument Award (1995 & 2005). A fully featured instrument designed to satisfy professional demands.
The double horn has established itself as the orchestral instrument of choice. The combination of full Bb and F horn offers the musician great flexibility in intonation and tone. There is also a definite correlation between mass and tonal projection. With full double horns the thumb valve serves to change to either the shorter Bb horn or the longer F horn.
The change valve of Model 503 is arranged at a 90° angle.
