The alto-tone of the Altonium adds sparkle and brilliance in the open air. It blends in the perfectly with the other bell-front brasses and brings out the usually weak inner voices. The Altonium is the perfect marching substitute for the French Horn. The tone is rich and mellow yet possesses much power and resonance.

The trumpet-type valves on this King creation permit the player to finger as fast as smaller brasses. -White Way News Catalog #21, 1965. For sale by The H.
