 The Sorley Model

 F/Bb Double Horn

by horn builder Darin Sorley:

"This model is based upon the 1933 Carl Geyer horn which I own and was originally made for Philip Farkas. Although many measurements were taken from this instrument, the Sorley-GS1 is unique and is not an exact copy."

"The first branch design and various mouth pipes available for the Sorley-GS1 are my original designs."

"Great care has gone into producing an instrument that responds evenly in all registers while maintaining the purity of its sound. "
