Bernd Hoffmann Trainer Classic French horn

Very handy for keeping your chops working when you can’t get to your horn. I’m currently on holiday, and it’s really easy to pack, and quiet to use. It’s quite resistant - more than my Alexander horn - so is tiring to use for a long time. It’s not possible to buzz the full range of the horn, either, so best for the middle register. Nicely made in an attractive wood, and comfortable to hold.

I use it everyday as the first part of my daily warm-up routine and it helped a lot in my interpretation quality.
