Duerk horns have skyrocketed in popularity amongst the top players in the world, from Radek Baborak to Alessio Allegrini. The D1 is an affordably priced professional 'Geyer' style double with all the bells and whistles of the more expensive models! This one is made of unlacquered yellow brass with a detachable flare. It's in excellent condition with PERFECT compression (0.1). There are no dings, no thin spots, no bad notes! It's mechanically 'like new' - only the tarnish reveals that it is a used horn. One of the hallmarks of Dietmar's horns is their carrying power - these horns produce a sound with focus and intensity that reaches the back of the largest concert halls without getting too brassy.
This is the only D1 I've ever had come to my shop for resale - these are very desired horns.
