Responding to the desires of countless musicians, Steven Lewis and Dietmar Dürk set out to incorporate the iconic C. F. Schmidt design into their lineup of horns. Recognized for its distinctive bell shape and an unusual valve configuration - three rotary valves paired with a Perinet-style F/Bb thumb valve - this concept inspired an ambitious collaboration. Through the dedicated work of these two seasoned experts, the LDx7 was born. Further refined in partnership with Dale Clevenger, former principal horn of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the instrument evolved into the LD CLEVENGER model. From its debut, the horn has surpassed expectations, offering the legendary tonal character alongside enhanced intonation, superb response, and balance throughout the entire range.
Special feature: The Model LD CLEVENGER can be converted from Bb/F to F/Bb by simply removing the complete piston valve, turning it 180° and reinserting it.
