Created specifically for the legendary Phil Myers, longtime Principal Horn of the New York Philharmonic, this is the mouthpiece that even he called “too small”… which, coming from a player famous for unleashing volcanic power that could overpower a full symphony section, is the ultimate compliment. Phil Myers just listen to the recordings.... awesome — a force of nature on the horn — and he demanded something that could match his intensity. We delivered. This design pushes every limit: it features the deepest cup, the largest cup volume, and the biggest throat in the Giddings French horn lineup, all packed into a relatively small inner rim diameter for pinpoint control and security. The result? An enormous, hall-filling core tone with massive projection, incredible depth, and raw power that anchors any ensemble or solo line — yet the compact rim keeps the embouchure focused, responsive, and fatigue-resistant even during marathon sessions. If you’re an advancing or professional player who refuses to be overpowered by the brass section, who needs to cut through with authority while maintaining lyrical warmth and precise articulation, the BIG DADDY is your weapon, Trust it to deliver when the stakes were highest —because nothing else could contain the sheer volume unleashed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eKey Specs \u0026amp; Highlights:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\" style=\"margin-top: 0in;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRim Diameter: Relatively small inner rim for focused control, security, and endurance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCup: Deepest cup depth with maximum volume for huge, enveloping tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThroat: Largest opening in the lineup for unrestricted airflow and explosive projection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOverall Balance: Extreme power and core without sacrificing response or intonation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePrecision-crafted in stainless steel — hypoallergenic, no replating required, lifetime durable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhy elite players choose the BIG DADDY:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\" style=\"margin-top: 0in;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTitanic core and projection — Generates an expansive, orchestral-filling sound that dominates without effort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eUnmatched depth — Deepest cup + largest volume = rich, resonant tone that carries to the back of any hall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eControlled power — Small rim diameter keeps everything centered and secure, even at maximum intensity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eNo-compromise response — Big throat delivers instant airflow, clean attacks, and effortless dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBuilt to last — Harder stainless steel handles the punishment of high-volume playing forever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis isn’t a subtle mouthpiece.

During World War II, while serving as a young American soldier in Germany, Christopher Leuba walked into a museum, spotted a locked cabinet of historic instruments, and boldly asked the curator to open it. Inside was an old natural horn mouthpiece that instantly resonated with him. To his amazement, the curator said, “Take it.” Leuba did—and years later, after rising to principal horn with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under Fritz Reiner, the Minnesota Orchestra, and the Portland Opera for over two decades, he had Miraphone faithfully reproduce that very piece as his signature model. Today, Giddings Mouthpieces proudly carries the baton forward with the French Horn 2—a direct descendant of Leuba’s wartime treasure and personal design. In the storied tradition of orchestral French horn excellence—where precise intonation, rich depth, and expansive projection set the standard for generations—Christopher Leuba remains a towering, if sometimes under-celebrated, figure. Beyond his legendary playing, he authored seminal works like A Study of Musical Intonation, which continues to guide serious players worldwide. The FH-2 faithfully recreates his innovative near-double cup design: a deep funnel section flowing into a shallower upper cup, producing extraordinary resonance and an expansive, enveloping sound that fills the hall with natural warmth and power. Ideal for orchestral section playing, solo work, and chamber music, it delivers the broad, singing tone Leuba demanded—effortless projection, secure response across the full range, and the tonal freedom to master demanding literature with true musical authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eKey Specs \u0026amp; Highlights:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-top: 0in;\" type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003eCup Design: Near-double cup with deep funnel transitioning to shallower section for exceptional resonance and expansive tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003eOverall Profile: Direct recreation of Christopher Leuba’s historic personal model, originating from a WWII-era natural horn mouthpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003eBalance \u0026amp; Response: Optimized for rich, centered orchestral sound with outstanding intonation and flexibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003ePrecision-crafted in stainless steel — hypoallergenic, no replating required, lifetime durable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhy players choose the French Horn 2:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-top: 0in;\" type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003eLegendary resonance — Deep funnel and double-cup-like design create an expansive, hall-filling sound with natural warmth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003eAuthentic orchestral depth — The broad, singing tone Leuba trusted for principal and section playing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003eSecure, even response — Excellent slotting and flexibility across all registers, from pedals to high range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003eIntonation excellence — Reflects the principles from Leuba’s groundbreaking pedagogical works\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003eEndurance \u0026amp; clarity — Harder stainless steel delivers instant energy transfer and reduced fatigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis mouthpiece preserves and extends the remarkable legacy of Christopher Leuba—WWII soldier, museum adventurer, orchestral icon, and pedagogical pioneer—while putting his trusted design into modern players’ hands.

The generous airflow path rewards those who move serious air: the sound blooms with power in the lows, stays warm and lyrical in the middle, and sings with brilliance in the highs — giving you the versatility to anchor a section, soar in exposed passages, or support massive orchestral textures without ever feeling restricted or thin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eKey Specs \u0026amp; Highlights:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\" style=\"margin-top: 0in;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRim Diameter: Large for exceptional comfort, security, and endurance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCup Depth: Relatively deep for rich tonal core and expansive resonance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThroat \u0026amp; Backbore: More open design to reward strong players with maximum airflow, projection, and dynamic freedom\u003cbr\u003ePrecision-crafted in frost-finish stainless steel — hypoallergenic, zero replating, lifetime indestructible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhy advanced players choose the 3.75:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\" style=\"margin-top: 0in;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eExpansive, at-home sound — Fills any ensemble with powerful, rich tone that blends seamlessly or projects boldly when needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eLarge-rim confidence — Generous rim supports strong embouchures and long sessions with zero fatigue or instability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAirflow mastery — Open throat and backbore let you pour in air and get massive reward — perfect for players with big breath support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEven response across registers — Clean articulation, secure slotting, and lyrical beauty from pedal to high range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDynamic versatility — Handles subtle nuance to orchestral fortissimos with control and musicality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis is the mouthpiece for advanced French horn artists who refuse to compromise — those with strong chops and plenty of air who want a tool that grows with them, delivering power, warmth, and presence in every musical context.
