Model Description

The THEIN French Horn “R” – Model is a full double horn in F/Bb. Its unusual shape is based on the idea of partially shifting the weight of the horn to the right hand, in order to relieve the left shoulder. At the same time, this design leads to easier drainage of the instrument.

The long, open lead pipe and the open design give the player a very even, robust and light blowing feeling without losing the resistance.

The resistance can be adjusted individually by choosing an appropriate lead pipe.

For this French Horn we offer a wide variety of bell ends in different materials, wall thicknesses and processing methods.
