Model A English horn

The Fossati A English horn has a comfortable and warm sound like the Fossati A oboe. The Fossati A English horn has wide, less-milled tone holes with a simple under cut. The design of the tone holes and bore gives this instrument support for the player and a full, round sound. The support that the Fossati A offers makes it a very comfortable instrument.
