Roy Benson AH301 Tenor Horn

Available from Gear4Music at £554.00 ($704).

The Roy Benson AH301 is a traditionally shaped tenor horn with a slightly smaller bell than the Roy Benson TH201 and TH202. This instrument is well suited to wind bands and is lightweight enough to work well for marching bands too. The 20cm bell while more compact than other tenor horns still projects well and the yellow brass construction creates a bright tone that is characteristic of brass. The gold brass leadpipe adds warmth and depth to the sound that makes this instrument sound unique. The AH301 has been engineered with the best materials the nickel silver slides are resistant to corrosion which are ideal for parts of the instrument that contact the fingers most. The three top-action stainless steel piston valves are great for players who prefer the action and feel of piston valves over rotaries. All you need for transporting and performing are included as the AH301 comes with a lightweight shaped case with a rucksack assembly.
