Production Version of the Bon Fils!
I had the factory air freight over a Bon Fils (don't ask what that costs!) while we wait for the rest to arrive by sea in a couple of weeks.
This horn retails to the end user for $750......it is designed for student use, and designed to project in outdoor situations such as marching band
.....here are some pictures so you can see some of the unique features to this horn:
(1) Two different necks for two different sounds: a bright, silver plated neck with built in neck enhancer for marching band use, and a "sweet" sounding neck for
concert band
(2) double arms on the low C and B for stability
(3) easy to reach chromatic and high F# keys
(4) teardrop shaped front F
(5) Fully waterproof pads for outdoor use
(6) Stainless steel springs that don't rust
(7) Extra large ribs, rods, and pivot screws to durability
(8) Extra large bell to body brace for stability
(9) Fully hand engraved on the bell, bow, body tube, both necks, and all key cups
(10) Three ring strap hook accommodates players of all physical sizes
(11) Extra large right hand thumbrest supports the entire thumb, great for small hands
(12) Big guard on the bottom of the bow to prevent dents
(13) Oversized metal resonators for great projection
(14) extra strong key cradles to prevent damage
