The Geyer style French horns have a more direct air flow because of the soft curvature of the tubes, producing a great freedom feeling when you blow, especially when you play in the forte, with a nice wide sound that never breaks.
Thanks to the copper, the sound is very round, with a great projection and a big and peripheral sound. Either lacquered or raw is visually groundbreaking, because of its beautiful reddish colour, so unusual in the brass instruments.
