Felix Klieser
Felix Klieser (born 3 January 1991) is a German professional hornist.[1] He was born without arms. He plays the French horn by using his left foot to action the valves and without placing a limb inside the bell (this is in contrast to the way the instrument is traditionally played, which entails using the left hand to action the valves and placing the right hand inside the bell). The horn is held on a tripod.
