Well - don't forget, it has 9 tuning loops for perfect tune and intonation too! 
 And a detachable bell that can be left on for a fixed bell type horn!

I'll take 2!

Equally fascinating are the Vournelli French Horns from the same 
seller.  All new silver F/Bb double horns, all priced less than $400; 
new, wonderful, etc.  Have we ever heard this name before?  The blurbs 
say that the valves are cut to 'high tolerance', at .005 inches.  .005 
inches seems clunky - but isn't that what 'high tolerance' means?  'Low 
tolerance' is more precise than 'high tolerance', isn't it?

 !! This is a silver plated French Horn mouthpiece. It is cut to within
 .0005 tolerance
 !! for a perfect fit. The French Horn mouthpiece is modeled after the
 Bach only the taper
 !! is different. It has thinner walls which gives more cooling and
 that increases endurance.

 Increased cooling - that's the ticket!
