D10 Allegrini Experience

Alessio Allegrini, solo horn of Accademia Nazionale di SANTA
Cecilia and of Lucerna Festival Orchestra, soloist and pro-
fessor in the Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana, about
the cooperation with DürkHorns:
...Discover Your Voice.
Dietmar Dürk and I have been searching for over a
year for a sound that projects itself into infinity.
Based on Leonardo Da Vinci’s studies which
are based on the Spiral Aurea, we developed
a switching valve that rotates 120 degrees
and is able to let the air flow continuously
in a clockwise direction without creating
turbulences.
We were looking for a rich and harmo-
nious sound based on my experience
and historical research into the
true German sound.
This is how we found out that in the time before Kara-
jan it was a warm, mellow sound with sharp peaks only
when necessary.
The sound of the Dürk D10 is the synthesis of a search for
historical truth, but it is also the result of modern acoustic stud-
ies, based on sound projection. The Dürk D10 produces a magical
sound that captivates the listener and is not localized where it
comes from. And this is the real magic that a horn must create.
The horn has a great carrying capacity, perfect intonation,
lightness in both the middle, low and high registers.

Dietmar Dürk has brilliantly understood the needs of an
art that must take into account the development of the
modern concert hall as well as the development of the
world’s horn players.

Finally… I play Dürk because Dürk is Dürk!
