GBMS 'Halstead' HAND-HORN
£565.00
An inexpensive 'entry-level' hand horn for those players who wish to develop hand technique skills without paying several thousands of pounds for a high-end instrument such as a Seraphinoff (USA) or a Jungwirth (Austria).
I always used to recommend the John Webb 'Bohemian' or 'French' models as a matter of course; however, new Webb horns are no longer available, owing to the sad death of Mr Webb in 2014. Consequently, 2nd-hand examples are rare, commanding high prices. If you simply don’t have that kind of money, this very attractive lacquered yellow-brass French reproduction hand horn is ideal as a ‘starter’, and is immediately available.
It has a very narrow bell throat, so that small movements of the right hand have a big effect on the pitch.
Supplied with four crooks, D, E flat, E and F, playing at pitches between A 440 and A 435, supplied in a padded case with detachable pockets for each crook, this has got to be the ultimate 'hand horn bargain'.
NB: optional crooks for A and G are available for £45 each, as is a single-coil coupler for £35 to lower the D crook to C basso.
This horn is also available from GERRY BIRCH MUSIC SERVICES:
