FRENCH STYLE ELEGANCE

Antoine Courtois has set itself apart as a top-end manufacturer of brass instruments for over two centuries. Founded in 1803, the Courtois family had already been making its first cavalry trumpets since 1789. The legance of French instrument making came into its own in their Amboise workshops. The brand’s trumpets, flugelhorns, trombones and saxhorns are steeped in this culture, rich in expertise and traditional values. Antoine Courtois instruments appeal to soloists and musicians in major symphony orchestras and jazz ensembles worldwide.
