We produce the “top class” Alphorn model with the finest selected spruce wood 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.
A guarantee for this is, among other things, the consistent wall thickness of 8.5 millimeters.
Competitors will look in vain for the highest quality materials such as the gold anodized connecting sockets, these are STANDARD in our models!
This alphorn belongs to the absolute top class of alphorns.
Some prototypes were in the production phase for several weeks with very critical testers at home and neighboring countries.
The very clear result to determine the quality of the Alphorn,
Compared to other top horns, it was clearly in our favor for the five most important factors.
Were tested:
+ the ease of speech
+ the intonation within itself
+ the workmanship compared to very expensive top horns from competitors
+ the tone volume and sound of the alphorn
+ the “slight jumping in of the tones” during the course of the game
Tests were carried out in various areas such as churches, halls, halls and outdoors - by both women and men.
The testers included very experienced alphorn players, including members of the Swiss alphorn associations. They are particularly critical of “alpine horns from abroad”.Please note our references.
