Horn
It´s time for you to Discover Atkinsons Nickel Silver Geyer made in solid Nickel-Silver!! Introducing "The Destroyer" whose playing characteristics are smooth and velvety with the sound being dark with rich overtones. For those of you who willing to try something different and can judge a Horn by its merits this AX will impress you for everything that a GREAT Horn should have. Made from ultra thin nickel material this Horn is a more difficult challenge to make than its yellow brass counterpart and as a consequence most makers will not attempt this because of the difficulty involved in production. Made by the most unique workshop in America and offered for your playing enjoyment. Take a walk on the wild side and don´t get trapped in the material this or the material that crowd.:-) The Destroyer will be showing at the following Horn venues:
Conventions: TMEA (TX) Feb.8-11. // OMEA (OH) Feb.16-18. // TBA (TX). etc // I.H.S. Symposium (TX) May15-19 and various workshops such as the Mid-South, Southeast, Northwest and Northeast Horn symposiums. OR we can send you one for trial.

Just finished an extremely challenging valve job on a nickel silver Kruspe for Ben Eby who was thrilled at the action and response of his newly reconditioned Pre-War Trophy. Had a blast working on this gem.
