WERE BACK! At last years IHS symposium ATKINSON BRASS had a tremendous showing. This year we display again with more Geyer & Erfurt Kruspe style Horns In Macomb, IL. next month. Atkinson Geyer is the only Geyer Horn made from original Geyer valves. Yes, that´s right! The same valves Geyer used! This being said we do not stop there. The crooks and branches are polished outside as well as inside the tube in an effort to give you a smoother air flow and better response. The Geyer AG2000 comes in three bell sizes ( Traditional Geyer, European or Extra Large size) This and so much more await you with the Atkinson-Geyer. Looking for a quality Kruspe model ? Atkinson Erfurt Kruspe line will give you a warm sonorous sound with strong lows ,middle register and an INCREDIBLE high register. Add to that great intonation and a great Horn will be in front of you. Don´t just take our word or anyones, simply come in to test play and compare the ATKINSON at this years IHS.
