Leblanc says
Bright, compact
feel and sound with outstanding tonal beauty. Bell proportions
provide a dark but singing tone with fine legato characteristics.
Yellow brass produces a higher tone color with more overtones
and clearer projection. Capable of playing pianissimo staccato
notes sensitively, clearly and evenly. Excellent horn for
chamber orchestra.
