The JP261D RATH is a full double Bb/F French Horn with a detachable bell which enables the instrument to be more portable and packs away into a smaller case. Featuring an exclusively designed Rath leadpipe and Geyer style layout this horn has very little resistance and is very freeblowing throughout the whole register. The thumb lever, finger hook and ducks foot can all be adjusted to ensure a comfortable hand position thus making it ideal for younger players looking for a full double horn.
The JP261D RATH is constructed from high grade 80:20 brass throughout. Incorporating an exclusive Rath designed leadpipe. The JP261D also features neoprene valve bumpers and mechanical (ball & socket) linkage, adjustable and reversible Bb/F lever for those who prefer the horn to stand in Bb rather than F. The thumb lever, finger hook and ducks foot can all be adjusted to ensure a comfortable hand position and a detachable Bell.
I have great pleasure in recommending the JP261DRath double Bb/F French horn as a fantastic instrument for the intermediate level horn player (grade 4-7). It is a remarkably free blowing instrument & the example I played had an excellent top register. It has mechanical valves, so no strings to repair, and is robustly manufactured. The detachable bell model comes with a very user friendly 'back pack' case all at an extremely competitive price. Perfect for taking to school or youth orchestra. Definitely worth thinking about if you are looking for a first double horn.

With a rigid yet lightweight fibreglass construction, the JP857 Pro offers maximum protection whilst maintaining ease of use and an ergonomic design high quality lightweight case with backpack straps.
