BAROQUE HORNS

This is a new product for us and one we are quite excited and happy to be offering. It is finished with a bell kranz and is painted a stunning red inside the bell. It is pitched at A=415 and is of the master crook and couplers system allowing the keys of G, F, E, Eb & D. Vent holes are included.

After Nicodemus Pechert, Vienna, c.1795.

This is a faithful reproduction of a cor d'Orchestre horn, in brass, made in the Austro-Bohemian tradition with tuning slide and bell garland. The bore is .441 which is authentic for horns of this era. The bell is similarly authentic in size, not a resized modern french horn bell. The crooks are full formed and are in keys from Bb alto to C basso with key designations in sterling silver. Bb basso is achieved by adding a single coil coupler to the C basso crook.This instrument can be pitched at either A=440 or A=430.

FUTURE OFFERINGS

We are in the process of making a replica of a Cortois Neveu Aine cor d'Orchestre made c. 1820. Patterson Hornworks owns an original and have done a considerable amount of research on it and other similar instruments. At this point, we are able to supply the crooks for this or any French style corpus of the cor d'Orchestre type.
