The design of the JP263Rath B/F compensating French Horn is geared towards the progressing player looking for a lighter weight French Horn with access to both the B^b and F sides of the instrument.

• Michael Rath is highly regarded for his trombone designs, but what is less well known is that he spent ten years working with Paxman’s making French Horns.

  The JP263 Rath B^b/F French Horn features:

  Constructed from high grade 80:20 brass throughout

• Exclusive Rath design leadpipe
• Includes a compensating system allowing access to both B^b and F sides of the instrument
• Mechanical (ball & socket) linkage and neoprene valve bumpers, usually reserved for more expensive French Horns
• Reversible B^b/F lever for those who prefer the horn to stand in B^b rather than F

The JP263Rath is supplied with a JP612 mouthpiece and comes equipped with a high quality hard case for maximum protection.

Also supplied with a bottle of Ultra Pure valve oil and a maintenance guide to help you keep your instrument in top playing order.
