Dieter Otto Horns

For 40 years, the Dieter Otto name has established itself among discerning horn players around the globe. Backed by his excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail, his instruments were manufactured with the highest quality of hand work. In 1969 Dieter Otto founded his business with confidence from the experience he had growing up with his own instrument making family from Markneukirchen, Germany.

In 2006, Dieter Otto hired a young, dynamic brass instrument maker named Martin Ecker. Mr. Ecker, a master craftsman in his own right, has marked 2010 as the year in which he has obtained total ownership and operation of Dieter Otto French horns. Martin Ecker uses the latest computer analysis systems and cooperation with professional musicians, to consistently improve and develop Dieter Otto Horns to meet or exceed the highest standards of contemporary musicians worldwide.
