Claude Gordon Horns* 

In a professional career spanning more than half a century, Claude Gordon's most lasting contribution to music may well be his aerodynamically balanced trumpets. It is clearly the product of a long and varied career experience, in which he created full voiced trumpets that are not fatiguing to hold or play in the fast paced world of long rehearsals, concerts, and recording sessions. 

Every  professional wants a big, well centered sound at his command, especially over many hours of playing. And every student wants to develop faster and  produce a quality sound, without strain.  These are problems solved by the innovative Claude Gordon trumpets. That is why a serious musician who has to be ready to play anything at any time will want to play it on an instrument just like this.

* A WORD ABOUT THE CLAUDE GORDON HORN 

The "Claude Gordon 470" considered by Claude to be his finest achievement in a trumpet design, was patterned after a pre World War Two, French Besson horn.

the classic "claude Gordon 468" was designed with the same aerodynamically correct tapers to make it play just as easy in a smaller bore size

Modern day references to the Claude Gordon Horn, such as "large bore", "extra large bore", "filling the horn", etc. are misleading and spring from the false notions derived when brass instruments became products of a budding commercial industry.

Competitive sales advertisements, riddled with gimmick slogans and catchy phrases, launched a barrage of misconception, that for decades have plagued the brass player with erroneous ideas and unproven theories about what makes a brass instrument work well and why.

The Claude Gordon designs are not new....however modified to balance with the natural force of aerodynamics in relation to wind control and wind power  as produced by the human body, a true science often overlooked by the brass  player.

Natural laws and natural forces never change.  With correct application of wind control, wind power and no deviation of design, a Claude Gordon Horn and a 
C G Mouthpiece will always allow the player to practice easier, which in turn will  help him to develop faster and produce a better sound.....without strain!
