Rotor compression: excellent.


Case: Protec detachable bell model with clip-on mute bag.


Further details: A great example of a vintage

 Paxman pre-Model 40 with a 'Medium-Large' bell.

 

The detachable F extension is an added bonus, giving

1. an excellent 'open' middle G and its lower octave;

2. all the harmonics of the F horn;

3. warmer-sounding pedal notes than those of the F

alto, with the help of ingenious fingerings

and flexibility of embouchure.

 

This horn, with its medium-large bell, contrasts very

interestingly with the more recent

Paxman 40L:

Compared to the latter, it has a slightly more

focussed and compact sound, making it very

 

suitable for chamber orchestra, solo

 

performance or chamber music.
