Handmade Natural Horn - All the Bells and Whistles
This Webb–Halstead natural horn is a beautifully preserved example, built in the late 1990s with remarkably little play wear over its lifetime. Based on an original design by Franz Stohr (1800–1876) of Prague, this "Classical Hand Horn" style features interchangeable crooks rather than a fixed mouthpipe, offering historical authenticity and flexibility across keys. Responsive, elegant, and visually striking, this horn is a true player’s instrument as well as a collector’s piece, and includes a handmade wooden case.
