Instruments
Non multa, sed multum!
- Not many, but much!

All
horns wearing the name
"Herbert Fritz Knopf"
are manufactured in
our own workshop based
on our own, tested models.
Only materials of the
highest quality are
used in this process.
Customers may choose from two different bell sizes (medium and wide). We offer three alloys as base materials: brass, gold brass and nickel-siver. All instruments are equipped with string action or ball mechanics. By request and with an additional charge, minibal mechanics is also possible.
The close cooperation with professional musicians from top level orchestras allows for a constantly growing perfection of the instruments' quality. In addition, new scientific findings affect the production as well.
Naturally we also offer repairs on all brass instruments.
