This is a gently used Briz 1000. You already know how consistent Briz makes their horns which will make you confident about this purchase. A pro-level instrument, the Briz 1000 double french horn features the same characteristics beloved in a Kruspe-style horn but with the efficiency of a Geyer-style horn. A medium size bore and bell greatly help achieve air efficiency while maintaining the beautiful dark tone color and rich depth of the nickel alloy. By adding a high quality of the valve cluster you have a horn that is reliable and plays with extreme ease. If you have grown frustrated with your Kruspe-style horn you MUST try this horn.  Handmade, top quality – simply a joy to play.
The Briz 1000 double french horn arrives lacquered from the factory. If requested, we can remove the lacquer (for an additional $380) as most professionals in the USA play unlacquered horns. Removing the lacquer is a multi-step and involved process resulting in a slightly higher price. An unlacquered horn will develop a beautiful patina over time, a naturally occurring oxidation. We recommend to not polish the horn since this layer of surface oxidation protects the metal underneath.
The finger hook is adjustable and the change valve stop arm can be set to stand in either F or Bb.
