Custom Horns
The standard model horn that I make is model HG1, a Geyer style horn that is made in the traditional Geyer manner. It is all brass construction, with the Meinlschmidt smaller diameter, light weight valve set, and a standard throat, one piece, hand hammered bell. All my bells are made by Bernd Sandner.The HG308 leadpipe in yellow brass or nickel silver is standard. I accept certain horns as trade-in towards the balance due. I offer fair market prices, based on what the buyer could sell the horn for. I am not trying to make a profit on trade-in horns. I try to sell at the trade-in price. I am not "Hatch Emporium of Used Cars."
Price $12,000.00 $3,500.00 deposit due at time of order. See "Policies" page for terms.
I am very proud to announce that the newest model to the Wes Hatch Custom Horns line up is the HG1X. This model is standard with the larger diameter valve section that Meinl Schmidt offers. This horn includes two medium bell flares-- one spun flare and one hand hammered one piece bell flare. The possibilities in tonal colors and projection between these two flares satisfy the needs and flexibility of any horn player.
Nickel silver inner and outer slide tubes are standard, as is the HG308NS nickel silver leadpipe. Price on request.
