Hi Dan,

I visited Jiracek just last October, Jiracek handmade natural horns are one of 
the finest and most affordable. They are built by Vlastimil Jiracek who himself 
is passionate and obsessive about anything French horns.  (www.jiracek.eu). I 
have two of his horns and recently ordered a third one ordered while i was at 
his workshop. I have took the liberty to list his natural horns models for you.


Model 110, “Bohemia", is a copy of an old historical instrument, which was 
found 

in the Kutna Hora monastery, and represents a typical instrument played in 
Bohemia, late18th and early 19th century. The instrument is made by using the 
original technology, which is bending separate components while filled with 
led, 

and also keeps its original design and look, with respect to modern 
requirements 

for perfect sound and intonation. The bell diameter is 290 mm.

Model 510 has the same look and design as the model 110 except, it is made with 
a smaller bell (copy after Franz Weckert), and the sound of this instrument is 
closer to a French type of horn. The bell diameter is 280 mm (11.024“) - 
different is possible.   Crooks:C-alto, Bb, A, G, F, E, Eb, D, C basso, Bb 
basso 

adapter supplement for C- basso

Model 511 has the same look and design as the model 110 except, it is made with 
a smaller bell (copy after Franz Weckert) and bore 11mm. The sound of this 
instrument is closer to a French type of horn. The bell diameter is 280 mm 
(11.024“) - different is possible.   Crooks:C-alto, Bb, A, G, F, E, Eb, D, C 
basso, Bb basso adapter supplement for C- basso

Do contact him directly for more information, he speak english competently.

I have to put in a plug here for the IHS Online Marketplace :-) Only members 
can 

post items and only members or registered site users can view contact 
information, so there is much less chance of fraud attempts than the other horn 
marketplace. It even has a category specifically for natural horns:
