KARL GLASER copy of Alexander 1103
£890.00
Maker: KARL GLASER, Neuenkirchen, Germany
Model: 'Geyer' / Alexander 1103 generalised copy
Type: F/Bb or Bb/F full double with detachable bell flare
Bell throat profile: medium
Tubing bore/ internal diameter: 11.85 mm

all connecting ferrules; new replacement gold brass
ALEXANDER 1103 leadpipe.
Water key: conventional type, on the leadpipe
Weight: 2.7 kg
Visual / cosmetic condition: excellent. There is some slight
loss of lacquer where the new, unlacquered Alexander
leadpipe has been fitted. Of course, these minor blemishes
are merely cosmetic issues that have no effect on the
horn’s excellent playing qualities.
Rotor compression: excellent
Very good, strong original screw-bell hard case with
backpack straps.
Further details: this horn, expertly customised by a former
Paxman Master Craftsman, is an ‘easy blower’ requiring
less effort than many other double horns, maybe on account
of its 11.85 mm central bore compared to the Alexander's
12.1 mm. Its 4th valve plate can be laterally adjusted for 'left
hand comfort', very similar to that on Finke, Alex
1103 and Yamaha 567 horns.
The instrument's only somewhat negative feature is its
weight, which is slightly greater than the average 2.65 kg of
many screw-bell horns.
Generally, an excellent player with an even response
over the entire range, and remarkable 'value for money'.
