Frequently Asked Questions

What primary services do you offer?

I'm here to help you find a premier double horn or other brass instrument that changes your life and inspires you toward greater music.  I offer you personal service and the best selection of new European instruments found anywhere.

What do you specialize in?

I change lives for the better through music.  You'll find me teaching lessons at several colleges, playing horn in orchestras and shows around California and on the road.  I manage a new recording studio, consult for the Horn Guys, and I coordinated a recent International Horn Symposium.
