VERUS: (Latin) True; truthful; genuine; actual; real; just.

This large bell Knopf- style double horn offers an exceptional blend of power and flexibility. It has the broad, resonant sound and free-blowing response reminiscent of the Conn 8D, making it a great choice for players who prefer an open feel with a commanding presence in ensemble settings. The Knopf wrap delivers the agility, responsiveness, and smooth slurs typically associated with Geyer model horns—ideal for solo and chamber playing as well.

With excellent projection and fluid transitions across registers, this horn maintains clarity and control whether you're playing pianissimo or pushing through a large ensemble. A great, affordable alternative for those seeking the best of both worlds: the warmth and depth of a Kruspe horn with the nimbleness of a Geyer.

What's Included

• Lightweight hard case (Detachable and fixed bell cases do not meet airline carry-on requirements).

This durable luxury case is made of high-grade polycarbonate which is guaranteed to precisely fit the body of the instrument while providing excellent protection. Features include mouthpiece slot, modular bell protector, and premium backpack straps and shoulder strap.
