Designed in collaboration with Andrew Clark
 No valve near the front end of the mouthpipe or in the middle of the bell tail
The Bb side of the horn uses the same tapers as the Bb side of the F/Bb double, so it has the same big, full sound
Longer mouthpipe taper than most descants, so the sound quality of the Eb side is remarkably similar to the Bb horn in the high register
 No tuning bit at the small end of the mouthpipe to interfere with how the horn plays
Independent main and valve tuning slides for both sides of the horn
 Stop valve on Bb side of horn
Most other specifications same as double horn

B-FLAT SingLE

 • Most specifications same as double horn
• Optional detachable F extension for A/stop valve (shown in photo)
