Easy, balanced response
The introduction of numerous important developments in acoustic research have been instrumental and contribute to the permanent improvement of response in Alexander French Horns. Improved metrology was introduced into the manufacturing process to ensure that perfect measurements remain a constant feature in each of our instruments. When playing our instruments, you will immediately experience the clean separation of tones and feel the well centered sound.
Desired colour of sound
The basic cause for a particular colour of sound in an instrument is the dimension of its bell flare opening. Model 103 has a romantic soft tone, which is slender but carrying at the same time. In model 200, the carrying capacity is increased with a nickelsiver garland, which is attached to the rim of the bell. The garland will delay the appearance of "brassiness" during forceful play. Model 1103 offers a brilliant and bright colour of sound. If an instrument is fittet with a larger bell, its colour of sound darkens. Model 101 is such an instrument. It matches well the sound characteristics of a horn section where wide dimensional instruments dominate.
