These attributes allow the player a broad spectrum of technical nuances and artistic expression.

Modern Lewis tapers integrated with traditional designs produce a horn that has a flexible sound, uniform in all registers and at dynamic extremes. Whether it’s the sonority or power needed for a Mahler symphony or the delicacy of a Mozart quintet, the Lewis Horn enables the performer to express their creativity. Having played professionally, Steve Lewis, knows from personal experience what a player expects and demands from an instrument when under the pressures of a performance.
