WEBB-HALSTEAD BAROQUE HORN
£3,600.00
A fine baroque 'Leichamschneider' horn by John Webb and
Anthony Halstead.
It comes with crooks for F, D, Eb and G, playing
at a pitch of A415. The four vent holes, closed by screw caps,
adjust (when one of them is opened) the sharpness of harmonic 11 (F)
and the flatness of harmonic 13 (A).
The player can choose to use these relatively modern intonation
aids, or alternatively, keep the vent holes closed, and put the right
hand in the bell only when needed, in order to preserve the clear,
bright, ringing sound of the open bell.
A further option (not for the 'faint-hearted'!) is to 'lip'
harmonics 11 and 13 (and sometimes, contextually, 14)
'into tune'. I must confess that this is something that I have
never been able to do with any success; consequently, I am full of
admiration for the very few players who can!
Further small tuning adjustments of the open notes are possible, via
the sliding crook receiver.
A John Webb hard case with crook
compartments and a detachable lid is included.
NB: this horn is currently with its owner in West Yorkshire, UK.
