Patterson/ Hoyer Hybrid Horns

Our Special Price - S$12,500. (Normally over S$15,000)
A blend of technologies utilising the best of factory-made and custom handcraftsmanship. We install our 'front end' (leadpipe, slides, and valve caps) to the factory horn in addition to some significant rebuilding. The result is superb indeed and certainly rivals a number of custom-made instruments. This horn is played by students, college horn majors, and pros alike.
"Wow! This horn is awesome. I guess I'm a better player with your horn."
- Gareth Mollison, London Philharmonic
This work is in addition to replacing the leadpipe and rebuilding the main and aux F tuning slides. We perform these modifications to ensure that the bore remains smooth and constant with no gaps or bumps. After disassembly, bore is checked and in most cases expanded to the proper diameter, then the tubes are fitted in order to leave no gaps. The ferrules are then sized to properly fit the tubes and resoldered. These changes make a huge difference, in some cases, just as much as the leadpipe!
