Meister Hans Hoyer: The Hoyer family belongs to one of the oldest brass maker families of the region. The ancestors of the master Hans Hoyer find its first mention of the early 19th century. Hans Hoyer from Klingenthal, was himself head of the brigade for the VEB French horn building.
One of the great and innovative horn makers in the region. He was a frequent winner of gold medals of Leipzig therefore chose the VEB his name as its own individual master name and brand.
What is the "3B" Linkage System?
In contrary to the existing linkages, the new 3B linkage system uses two steel balls in bronze ball bearings for each valve in order to optimize the transmission: one ball connects the valve action rod to the bottom of the lever, the other one is connected to the stop arm.
3B stands for “Bronze Ball Bearing”, or in other words for a steel ball that is held within a bronze bearing. Additionally to this perfect gliding combination of steel and bronze, a spring on the connector to the valve action rod keeps the linkage in an optimal position to guarantee a perfectly smooth moving. In the end, it feels not much different to a string mechanism rotary valve.
