I have not tried the natural horns, but have played some other instruments of them. Their "Wagner tuba" is a horn leadpipe and valve block slapped onto a German oval baritone, and plays as you would expect from such a frankenhorn. It's tremendous fun to play, but don't expect to use it in a Bruckner symphony. I assume that their natural horn is a similar combination of standard parts they had lying around. You'll probably get what you pay for. For $ 500, don't expect a fine Raoux copy.
