Felix Cantesanu offers a custom horn that fulfills the demands of today's professional horn player with proven concepts and superb execution. This new horn brings to the forefront the needs of real performers, at a lower cost than other horns in its class.
The horn wrap is in the Knopf-Geyer style, best suited for Cantesanu's own design concept -- an open, round and smooth structure with "freestanding" tubing; there are no sections soldered directly to each other, this way the horn has an exciting "alive" feel and sound.
