Studio Basset Horn
Alto Voice
The warm, full-sounding basset horn covers the alto/tenor registers in the clarinet family, and was one of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s favored instruments. The instrument was recorded in the relatively dry and controlled environment of our second studio, the Silent Stage, and offers all common articulations.

Studio Basset Horn
Like the clarinet, the basset horn has a single reed and a cylindrical bore, but it is easily recognized by the conspicuous bend or kink between mouthpiece and upper joint. It is typically in F, and has additional keys for an extended lower range.
