Any thoughts on playing characteristics that the D3 (not the signature baborak) are sought after on their own and/or compared to the 103s?

Craftsmanship between Durk and Alex. Are there specific serial numbers on D3s that are superior. The first 100, 200, the newer ones?

Not too many D3s out there and wanted some input from horn enthusiasts. Thank you

How many Durk or Duerk horns are being played in the UK? If it's a copy of an Alexander then why not play an Alex?

Who Plays What?
Horn Make/Model Survey
Note by Paul Navarro:
As you look at who plays what in whatever section, it is important to consider that the instrument chosen by a particular player just might not be the instrument that the player likes the best out of all of the instruments available.

Some of the considerations that may influence what instrument is chosen to use may include: (not in order of importance)
+the principal's preference
+the conductor's preference
+what works best within their section
+what works best with the acoustics of the hall
+repertoire considerations - especially for chamber orchestras

[JA: also note that most of the orchestral players on the list are principal players and choose their instruments for that position. Low horn players may have different choices.]

How many Durk or Duerk horns are being played in the UK? If it's a copy of an Alexander then why not play an Alex?


It's like saying why copy the kruspe style at all. Only Conns should exist in the world, why did Hoyer, patterson, and so many other horn makers use that type of wrap. Horn makers are the real artist into why the horn sounds the way they sound. I was just curious of the craftmanship of the horns. D3 not the signature series is a horn that out of all the Durk horns is the most scarce when I try to look for info on them. The little that I have found out have all said amazing things about them, but then again only a few. If they are so "amazing" why aren't they as sought after as other Alex 103s? 103s if you have played are either the best hurn you've ever played in your life or they are the worst. Sometimes you'd say it plays "ok" still not a horn you would buy with an "ok" sound. Just want other people's 2 cents. A topic to chat about with other horn enthusiast.
