these  areas can be restored to a shine with brass polish.

Further details:

 

always under-rated on account of its rather heavy

 

weight, this well-known 'beginner to intermediate’ model of

 

full double horn has been made famous by the very

 

enjoyable and entertaining book ‘I Found my Horn’ by

 

Jasper Rees.

 

I played this very model (not this actual horn) when I

 

was 4th horn in the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra,

 

since it gave a much more  powerful and ‘projecting’

 

low and middle register response than did my default

 

horn at that time, an Alexander 104.

 

Our current horn is a good, inexpensive example

 

with a  fluent response and an even sound over the

 

whole range.

 

 

FURTHER DETAILS ARE AVAILABLE DIRECTLY

 

FROM THE HORN'S OWNER, 

 

WITH WHOM IT IS CURRENTLY HOUSED, 

 

IN SHREWSBURY, UK.
