Frequently Asked Questions
The wider scale stretches the tubing, creating a lower fundamental and a more resonant, almost booming sound, but also requires more breath control.
While adaptable, the unique timbre and range of this hunting horn will feel quite different from a modern horn; a willingness to learn a new style is essential.
