Customer ratings for Classic Cantabile WH-701 L Children's Bb French Horn Student Horn

A great instrument for beginners from the age of 9.

I let children aged 8-11 start on such children's instruments. Then I switch to a 4-valve Bb horn.
Such a children's horn is sufficient for the beginning, even if the intonation is rather moderate. The children take the g1 with the 1st and 3rd valve and the c2 was too low on this instrument. By the time this tone is reached, the children are usually big enough for a normal and then higher quality instrument.
The horn I bought was otherwise well made.

Good price-performance ratio.

I urgently needed a second horn. On 19.3.14 I bought a horn Classic Cantabile WH 702 L from you. The two-day delivery time was very pleasant. After a few days of test blowing, I can now make the following assessment. The horn has a beautiful sound! The notes respond securely and easily in all three octaves. It runs very smoothly and quietly. This is very important for lagato blowing. I discovered another advantage of this horn. The tuning slide can be pulled out by 8cm. This means a lowering of the basic tuning of the horn by half a tone and replaces the so-called A-stop valve. The Bb horn becomes the A horn. This allows easy fingering when transposing in the cross keys E, A and B without a 4th valve! This horn passes the comparison with brand horns, which cost 5 to 10 times the price, successfully!
