The JP164 double French horn from John Packer is a Kruspe-style double French horn. It is free-blowing across its entire range and is an affordable option for players needing a Bb/F double horn.
The Kruspe-style design features a B-flat change value close to the thumb key. This configuration results in several tubing bends that don’t exist in the Geyer design, resulting in the “closed wrap” name. The combined big 12" bell and Kruspe wrap design give this double horn its distinctive playing qualities and characteristic dark tone.
The adjustable and reversible Bb/F lever and the left-hand finger rest can all be adjusted to provide a comfortable hand position.
Bottom line, if you're looking for a well-made double French horn but don't want to pay a ransom for it, the John Packer JP164 is an excellent choice. Contact Andy's and order yours today.
