The Verus 72 Two-Piece French Horn Underpart from Houghton Horns allows players to utilize the highly focused acoustic profile of the Artist Series in a modular, customizable format. Part of a collection dedicated to preserving classic, vintage designs, this model is an exceptional option for horn players seeking precise, smaller internal dimensions.

The Verus 72 underpart is crafted using advanced CNC technology to guarantee a highly consistent response, seamless airflow, and pure tonal clarity across all registers. Because its acoustic profile works so efficiently with tighter dimensions, it is heavily favored by musicians who prefer a centered, immediate feedback loop and an incredibly focused sound profile.
