Every horn we make

Every instrument from our workshop embodies Swiss precision. Not sure which one fits you? Andi helps you choose.

Four trumpets. Four voices.

All four speak straight away and stay easy to play all night. The difference is the sound you want.

A slide that stays straight.

The outer slide is carbon. It cannot bend and it cannot dent. It is made straighter than brass ever could be. The gap in the slide stays very small, so the trombone is airtight. The instrument sits the same in your hand in every slide position. Every trombone is made to order, down to the bore size.

Keep your saxophone. Upgrade the neck.

The neck has a huge effect on how a saxophone sounds and plays. A standard neck vibrates along and loses energy. The carbon neck does not. So the sound opens up and carries further.
