£1,350.00
SOLD
Maker: H. F. KNOPF, Markneukirchen,
Germany
Type: F/Bb double
Bell throat profile: Medium
Alloy: lacquered yellow brass
Bell flare: detachable
Valve compression: rotors 2,3,4: very good; rotor 1:
good.
Visual/cosmetic condition: quite good on the corpus, -
on which the lacquer is worn in several places; excellent
lacquer on the bell flare. There is one small oval nickel
silver patch on the leadpipe.
Case: Paxman modern MB style 'suitcase'.
Further details: a lovely vintage H.F. Knopf horn,
probably dating from the 1950s, when nearly all high
quality brass instruments were hand-made by a single
'master craftsman'.
The horn plays wonderfully over the entire range, with
the potential for an intense, focussed sound and with a
well-centred high register.
Its 'sub-£2K' price qualifies it for a parallel
listing in the 'Intermediate' category, although it is
a professional-quality horn.
