Frequently Asked Questions
The leather wrap subtly dampens vibrations, contributing to a warmer, more mellow tone compared to a purely metal wrap, typical of some modern horns.
While playable, the demands of natural horn playing and the limited range make it more suited for intermediate to advanced players already familiar with horn technique.
Silver plating requires regular polishing to prevent tarnish and maintain its reflective qualities, but it's a fairly standard maintenance requirement for brass instruments.
