Further details: The 'Studenti' compensator was
Paxman's 'flagship' Intermediate horn during the
period from approx. 1979-1995, when it was
discontinued, a very unfortunate victim of its own
success in terms of its financial viability compared
to the high workshop cost of making it.
Used examples in good condition, such as this one,
are currently highly regarded and recommended by
many teachers.
The 'Studenti' compensator is
1) a definite upgrade from a ‘mini' or ‘kinder horn’;
2) an ‘improver’ instrument for a young player, up to
about Grade 8.
This iconic horn plays beautifully over the
whole range.
A welcome 'maintenance bonus' is that
its rotor caps are provided with inset screws that can
be adjusted to compensate for any up-
and-down play.
I am selling the horn on behalf of Gerry Birch
Music Services, https://gerrybirch.co.uk/
in whose workshop it was fully
overhauled and serviced very recently.
The photos can be viewed in greater detail
