The Cantesanu F/Bb double horn Model C is now available.
See the Horn Gallery for photos of the Cantesanu Horn Model C.
Felix Cantesanu offers a horn that fulfills the demands of today's 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 -- meaning there are no sections soldered directly to each other, this way the horn has an exciting "alive" feel and sound while being played.
The world's best sources have been chosen for all materials -- see
Manufacturing & Materials for more information about the Cantesanu Model C horn, style and processes.
The Cantesanu Model C horn plays evenly and effortlessly in the high, medium and low registers with immediate response and fantastic projection -- a complete horn that is comfortable to play, and one that should be considered for any orchestral position or solo work.
