'Retro' case, heavy but very protective.

 NB: also supplied for no extra cost is a very

 compact, lightweight (but rather unprotective) gig

 bag that will definitely fit in even the smallest   

 plane  locker; just make sure that no-one throws a 

 laptop or suitcase on top of it! See photos 3, 4,   

7 and 8; the F/A+ extension in photos 3 and 4 is an

optional extra, not included in the price.


Further details: A very good example of this

model, an excellent player over the whole range. 

Although its lacquer is 'visually challenged', 

worn and 'browned' in several places, many

players will regard this as relatively unimportant

compared to its very fine playing qualities.

 

The extra facility of stopping on the F alto side

without the need for transposition makes this a

particularly useful horn for contemporary music, as

well as, of course, its other superb feature:

an easeful high register in baroque/classical

repertoire, e.g. Bach Cantatas and

Haydn 'alto' symphonies.

 

Optionally available for £440 is a 'long F' 

detachable extension incorporating a rotary

change valve for A+. This can be seen in

photos 3 and 4.

 

 

The photos can be viewed in greater detail

 

by opening and saving them.
