Bocal: Lorée (gold plated)

Gold-plated english horn bocals from Lorée are the pinnacle for many English horn players - not only on Lorée English horns, but also on instruments from different makers.

The Lorée crooks/bocals suit the vast majority of instruments - often better than the crooks/bocals supplied and made by their manufacturer.

The bore of the Lorée English horn crooks/bocals is available in two different versions - the standard model and the "H" model. The "H" model is less popular than the older standard model.

As far as the choice of staple is concerned, the Lorée crooks/bocals are quite flexible. You can not really go wrong with classics such as Chiarugi 2, 2+ or with the Guercio E staples which have been specially developed for Lorée crooks/bocals.

Alternatives

The silver-plated Lorée crooks/bocals are a cheaper alternative to the gold-plated Lorée crooks/bocals.
