Further details: This fine horn, its gold-brass leadpipe's
highly efficient taper designed by the renowned
instrument maker Michael Rath, is based on the well-known
Yamaha 567D. It incorporates several of that excellent
intermediate horn's features, such as its Geyer-based
architecture and its Bb horn’s ‘open wrap’ 1st valve slide.
It is ideal for a young, improving player upgrading
from a single, a compensator or a ‘mini’ horn.
To ensure maximum playing comfort of the left hand, the
4th valve's thumb-plate is laterally adjustable, to
cater for all hand sizes.
The horn comes with a Paxman fibreglass fixed-bell case.
