F/Bb Double Horn · Model 200
The double horn has established itself as the orchestral instrument of choice. The combination of full Bb and F horn offers the musician great flexibility in intonation and tone. There is also a definite correlation between mass and tonal projection. With full double horns the thumb valve serves to change to either the shorter Bb horn or the longer F horn.
Model 200 is the 200-years-Gebr. Alexander anniversary model. It ist similar to Model 1103 and has an engraved nickel silver garland on the bell flare.
