Individually configured, tested, and approved by one of the world's top horn players, the Dürk D3 is a masterpiece that any musician would be proud to own.

Each Dürk D3 is meticulously manufactured with precision: from the leadpipe and hand-hammered bell to the specially compressed bell stem. All conical parts are crafted from a single piece, ensuring uniform wall thickness for consistent vibration and response. The fully hand-hammered body enhances the sound spectrum and improves response speed. The Signature series was designed in collaboration with Radek Baborák, who personally tested the feel, intonation, response, sound, resistance, and projection. Each horn bears his signature, comes with a certification, and includes an extended Dürk Horns warranty.
