Features and Attractiveness
This is the signature model of a collaboration between S.W. Lewis, an American renowned for his handmade French horns, and Ditmar Durk, a veteran craftsman who became independent from the Alexander Company. The model has excellent functionality, stable balance, and a rich resonance. It is a gem with high potential in all respects.

All of Okubo Wind Instruments' horns are carefully adjusted and maintained at the Blaser Strasse brass workshop. Customers considering mail order purchases can also rest assured.
