​Many Hornists desire their Horn to play better, whether they have an old Geyer, Schmidt, Conn 8-D, Holton, or Kruspe. Often times, this can be accomplished with different bell flares and mouthpipes. The acoustical changes can lead to a better high, middle or low registers and can have a drastic improvement in your overall performance. Another benefit is a richer, more pleasing sound with better staccatos and legatos. Many other acoustic options can be done also Including reversed engineered NEW valves. With 40+ years of experience in the rebuilding, repairing and customizing of Horns we have built an array of tools specially designed to perform these demanding jobs and played by major symphonic players around the country and world.
