Further details: sometimes under-rated on account of its weight, this well-known model of ‘beginner to intermediate’ full double horn has been made famous in recent years by the journalist Jasper Rees’s very enjoyable and entertaining book ‘I Found my Horn’.
I played exactly this Lidl model professionally for a
while, when I was 4th horn in the Bournemouth
Symphony Orchestra in 1966, as it gave a much more
powerful and ‘projecting’ low and middle register
response than did my Alexander 104.
Our current horn is a fine, inexpensive example with
a fluent response and an even sound over the whole
range.
