Frequently Asked Questions

The 3B linkage significantly reduces thumb pressure and offers a more direct connection between the player and the valve, resulting in faster response and improved control.
Regular polishing with a dedicated brass cleaner is necessary, perhaps weekly or bi-weekly depending on playing frequency and environment, to maintain a decent appearance, but the patina it develops is part of the instrument’s character.
While the 310mm bell is standard for a professional double horn, players with smaller hands may find it slightly cumbersome; a trial period is highly recommended before committing.
