What to Know
The Cantesanu Double is a custom-built full double horn in F/Bb with a Geyer/Knopf layout. The manufacturing or assembly country is not publicly confirmed in the available data.
Cantesanu describes its Double as a Geyer/Knopf horn with a direct air path and rounded bends in the layout. The maker's published positioning uses performance language, so individual players should evaluate the exact instrument rather than relying on the description alone.
Bore: 11.89 mm / .468 in; Bell: Detachable; Materials: Yellow brass; Linkage: Mechanical; string by request (dealer specification); Finish options: Unlacquered raw brass or custom or special order.
Because this is a custom-built model, individual examples may not share a single fixed specification.
