It’s finally here!

Hand built in Chicago, Hampson Horns partnered with builder Miles O’Malley to create this amazing baroque horn. Ideal for the high works of Bach, Handel, Telemann, et al. Built after the prototype that Lowell Greer made for his amazing adaptation of a Buchschwinder horn.

Base model comes with corpus at A=415, G master crook, 2 couplers for F & D, 2 telescopic tuning bits for modern and historic shank mouthpiece, and 3 internal tuning bits. Prices for the base model and additional keys ‘“a la carte” as follows:

Base Model – $4,250 for G, F & D

Please contact us if you want any of the following keys:

  • C Alto Crook – $140
  • Bb Alto Crook – $170
  • A Crook – $190
  • E Coupler – $110
  • Eb Coupler – $110
  • C Basso Coupler – $110 (adds to D coupler)

Complete Horn from C alto through Bb basso – $5,080

 

If you require vent holes for “bells up” playing, prices are as follows:

  • Vent Holes for G, F, E, Eb, D – $25 per hole
  • Vent Holes for C Alto, Bb Alto, A – $75 per hole

Complete Horn with 8 vent holes – $5,300

 

We can also personalize the garland starting at $75! Current owners have chosen dragons, fleur-de-lis, bees, and even a custom engraving to personalize their instrument. Check out the photos for ideas.

Engraving on the garland is done by Adam Bender in Kansas City, Kansas.

Custom engraving is available by quotation.
Please inform us if you will be playing with vent holes, hand-in-bell, or want the option for both.
And a huge thank you to Francis Pigeon in Montreal! He was our motivation for taking on this project, and is seen holding our first prototype.
