Alphorn model „top class“, ring made of OAK WOOD, matt, wound, tuning g - 714045

Beschreibung

We produce the „top class“ alphorn model with the finest selected spruce woods for musicians who are looking for something very special.

Thanks to the large scale length and the wide cup shape, we are able to achieve a full, warm and very sonorous tone with an extremely easy response.

One of the guarantees for this is the consistent wall thickness of 8.5 millimeters.

High-quality materials such as the gold-anodized connecting bushes are not available from competitors, but are STANDARD on our models!

This alphorn is in the absolute top class of alphorns.

Some prototypes spent several weeks in the production phase with highly critical testers in Germany and neighboring countries.
The very clear result to determine the quality of the alphorn,
was clearly in our favor in comparison with other top horns in the most important 5 factors.

Tested were:
+ the ease of speech
+ the intonation in itself
+ the workmanship compared to very expensive top horns from competitors
+ the tone volume and the sound of the alphorn
+ the „slight interruption of tones“ during the course of the game

Tests were carried out in various areas such as churches, halls and outdoors - by both men and women.
The testers included very experienced alphorn players, including members of the Swiss alphorn associations. They are particularly critical of „alphorns from abroad“.
