Hans Hoyer 7801 Heritage Series – Kruspe Wrap F/Bb French Horn
Crafted for players who crave a rich, broad “studio” tone without giving up precision and control, the Hans Hoyer 7801 Heritage Series horn features a Kruspe-style wrap. Developed in collaboration with legendary horn artists like Vince De Rosa and Myron Bloom, this model offers enhanced resonance and immediate playability.
One standout element is the bell construction: instead of the traditional two-piece design, the bell flare and last branch are formed from a single piece of hand-hammered brass. This one-piece approach allows for greater tonal complexity and projection. The XL throat bell is annealed with special care, contributing to a deep, complex sound ideal for professional performance or recording work.
The conical rotary valves are hand-fitted and treated to offer a naturally broken-in feel from day one, removing the need for a lengthy adjustment period. The horn also features Hans Hoyer’s 3B linkage system, known for its durability and smooth action.
