A lovely W. Brown & Sons

 

horn formerly in a  private collection

 

that is now being dispersed.

 

 

Specifications: 3 Périnet valves as a

 

detachable sauterelle with 11.2 mm central

 

bore.

 

 

Crooks: F, G and A.

 

There are 2 tubes and an

 

alternative tuning slide to replace

 

the sauterelle for hand

 

horn playing.

 

The crooks have a few small dings, 

 

mostly on the G crook, 

 

that have no effect on their playing.

 

Inscribed on the garland:

 

W. BROWN &

 

SONS

 

MAKERS 323 KENNINGTON ROAD

 

LONDON No 1004.

 

This horn (made probably 1911-1928) is

There is no case, but several suitable

 

cases or gig-bags are available at

 

reasonable cost.

 

 

NB: The horn is offered for sale only via

 

 

personal collection (from Dover, Kent, UK).

 

 

Couriering or shipping would  be impractical,

 

 

almost certainly resulting in damage.
