Bb/F Full Double French Horn – Signature

Description

The Signature Lite is the 2024 addition to GENEVA’s brass instrument range which has evolved from our Signature 2023 models incorporating Geneva’s unique lead pipe, valve block and valve design.

Its concept was borne out of a desire to provide a lighter beginner instrument without compromise to the free blowing qualities, exceptional intonation and warm sound our Cardinal and Heritage models are globally famed for today.

The way we have achieved this new lighter beginners instrument without compromise was to incorporate the knowledge and design skills of Geneva using standard materials with hand hammered bells crafted by the same skilled workforce building our Premium models.

The result is an unrivalled quality at its cost for a free blowing instrument that produces a rich sound with exceptional intonation throughout the instruments written range.

The Signature Lite range of instrument is aimed at the beginner to intermediate player who requires a lighter instrument, not just for the obvious economic reason over our more expensive premium professional models, but for ergonomic reasons due to the players physical attributes or indeed the physical challenges of performing for long periods.

It is finished Yellow Brass in Lacquer for those seeking best price for a quality sounding instrument.

All in all, the Signature range is the ultimate in the modern design GENEVA are reputed for, quite a stunning experience to play.

This is a Full Double French Horn (Bb/F). It is designed for Intermediate and Advanced musicians and is the ideal instrument for solo and ensemble playing.

Its lightweight construction, without compromises to sound and intonation, is made of yellow brass producing a beautiful mellow tone. The rotary valves, hand-crafted lead pipe and tuning slides are made of nickel-silver. Thanks to three-dimensional adjustable finger hook the instruments ergonomics allows it to be adapted for each hand. The slick rotary valves allow for soft and flexible control.

The Instrument is supplied with a hard case

“This instrument range of instrument fills a gap in the marketplace for many musicians in Brass and Wind Bands. I would recommend unreservedly you try it against other mid-range priced models for its light weight and free blowing capabilities”
