Patterson Kruspe

“This is the horn everyone’s been looking for…” – Vince DeRosa

By far, these are the best sounding, and playing Kruspe-style horns on the market. The sound is full spectrum, possessing a perfect mix of high and low overtones. They can sound rich and full, or bright and forceful. The response is immediate, all registers are remarkably even and the intonation is superb. Overall, these are very flexible instruments; no wonder they have been heard in musical organizations such as:

• New York Philharmonic
• Hollywood Studios (Major motion pictures, records)
• London Philharmonic
• London Symphony
• Marine, Air Force, Army Bands
• Pittsburgh Opera

Our horns represent the latest evolution of this legendary horn design and we invite you to try one to see the realm of possibilities.
