W 393 X Innovation

F/Bb/F alto (Eb alto) triple horn

The original idea to develop our „Innovation“ line was a lighter triple horn.

In result of the impressive feedback from our “Innovation” double horn, therefore it is a logical consequence to offer also our successful 393X as an “Innovation” in a lighter design.

Technically, the “normal” 393X and the 393X “Innovation” are very similar. However we use thinner drawn slide tubes, lighter slide bows and light internal valves.

The biggest difference, however, is the manufacturing technology. All crooks in the body of the horn are bent by hand to fit perfectly. The bell brace and leadpipe brace are elaborately forged by hand.

As a result, the new 393X “Innovation” feels livelier and more capable of modulation when played. In terms of sound, this model offers even greater flexibility. It sounds softer in piano and the tone remains more flexible in forte.

Like all of our triple horns, the new 393X “Innovation” can be played with all 3 bell sizes (ML2 recommended).

For a more focussed, „chrunchy“ sound in ff, the new ML2.1 bell offers an interesting alternative.
