A modified Geyer/Knopf-style professional model double French horn in F/Bb.

After the successful philosophy and design of the Titan horn, Stomvi's Elite horn was conceived. The Elite is a versatile instrument that evokes the Knopf tradition in feel, ergonomics, sound, and projection. 

Accessibility

The Elite is a great option for the advanced student, amateur, or professional. A remarkably high-quality instrument that doesn't break the bank. It remains one of our most popular horns.

Tradition

Stomvi president Vicente Honorato Ibáñez honed his skills as an artisan jeweler before embarking on the production of brass instruments. His meticulous attention to detail and uncompromising craftsmanship can be seen, felt, and heard in every Stomvi instrument.

The Stomvi Elite is a very unique horn, wrapped like a Geyer/Knopf horn, but with the soul of a 103.

-Dr. Derek J. Wright
