UHLMANN VIENNA HORN
£900.00
Maker: LEOPOLD UHLMANN
A vintage Vienna horn with an unusual design feature: the crook (F)
lies on the 'front' rather than on the 'back' of the instrument.
The three valve slides are longer than usual, to allow for the fact that
there is no main tuning slide.
The crook's mouthpiece receiver takes a conventional mouthpiece
rather than one with a later Vienna-style thick shank.
The hard case, lacking a handle, is nevertheless quite a work of art in
itself. It has an inlet compartment for the crook.
The valve linkages are rather noisy but all the valves work well, as do
the tuning slides.
The horn plays beautifully, with no 'bad notes'.
The photos can be viewed in greater detail
