A beautiful FINKE Model 53, an

 

astonishingly lightweight 5 valve single

 

Bb/A+ horn with built-in F extension

 

operated by the 5th (‘pinky’) finger.

 

 

This superb horn has had only very light use.

 

It is very similar to the Alexander Model 97 but

 

slightly lighter in weight (2.1 kg, compared to

 

2.34 kg).

 

 

 

Its detailed specifications are:

 

 

Lacquered yellow-brass body in excellent

 

condition.

 

Detachable Medium taper lacquered yellow-brass

 

bell flare in good condition apart from a few very

 

minor dings, so small that they have to be

 

pointed out.

 

Two detachable nickel-silver leadpipes:

 

Finke Models G2 and 5, offering a choice

 

of response and resistance levels.

 

Mini-ball valve linkages.

 

Polycarbon rotors.

 

Adjustable duck’s-foot.

 

Weight: 2.1kg

 

Finke flat ‘suitcase’ in excellent condition;

 

quite heavy but very protective.

 

NB: The horn comes with its original 2nd thumb lever (now detached), formerly used to access the F extension. It would be possible for a brass workshop to change the configuration from its present one (where the F extension is operated by the 5th finger) to a more conventional one with 2 thumb levers.

 

A lovely horn with great flexibility, a superb

 

high register, and an even sound over the

 

whole range.
