The wait period for a Cantesanu Double is now approximately 6-7 months.
The current price for a horn is $13,900 USD
Included as standard options are: a detachable bell, an adjustable thumb lever & finger hook and an Amado water-key on the leadpipe. The horn comes, as designed, with a Regular (spun) Meinl bell. A Hand Hammered bell is optional (this will add $300 to the order). A case is not included, however a Cantesanu Horns edition MB-7 case is offered at $550 if ordered along with a horn.
A deposit of $2,900 is required to place an order. Receipt of the deposit will put your name on the list for the next available horn and locks in the current price. The deposit is considered a commitment to purchase the instrument once completed, and is used to acquire all the materials needed and so it is not refundable. The remaining balance is due upon completion, at pick-up or before shipping. The Student Discount is applied at the final payment. Alternatively, the whole sum can be accepted at the time of order. There are no returns accepted, however you can rest assured the quality of the horn you will receive is every bit the same as every other horn I've made. I respect my work, consistency and quality are my top priorities and every instrument that I make is the most important instrument to me.
Depending on the needs and wants of the player ordering a horn, changes to the bell/tail type and size, build configuration and materials used can be made for the knowledgeable and discerning musician. I am always available for consultation discussing these matters.
The price of a Cantesanu Double is being kept considerably under the asking price of our direct competitors, such as: Lewis, Hill, Patterson, Medlin, Lucas, Atkinson, Berg, etc.
