The lightweight champion.
Inspired by the success of the full triple horn, Ricco Kühn introduced the compensating model W353X in 2011. Different from the full triple horn, the F valve extension is realized by addition of extension crooks to the Bb valve extension. The result of this change is a compensating triple horn which weights 150 grams less than a full triple horn and is not much heavier than a double horn with a stopping valve.
This instrument is only available as a Special Order. Please contact sales@houghtonhorns.com for additional information.
