FINKE CLASSICAL NATURAL HORN
£3,350.00
MAKER: FINKE (Germany)
MODEL: CLASSICAL NATURAL HORN
with crooks, its 'corpus' (body) based on an early 19th
century hand horn by Franz Stöhr, Prague,
Bohemia.
Age: approximately 20 years
Its set of crooks, almost complete, comprises:
• 6 tapered terminal crooks for A, G, F, Eb, D and C basso, plus a cylindrical 'coupler', a circular extension tube that is used only in combination with a crook, lowering the key of that crook.
• The crooks and coupler will give the following keys:
A alto; Ab alto, achieved via the A crook with the tuning slide extended; G; F#, achieved by the G crook with the tuning slide extended; F; E, achieved by the F crook with the tuning slide extended; Eb; D; C basso, Bb basso, achieved by the C basso crook plus the coupler.
NB: The tuning slide is long enough to give pitches from A 440 down to A 415.
• 'MARCUS BONNA' case with a detachable compartment for the crooks.
This lovely horn, personally hand made by JOHANNES
FINKE, has had only occasional light use. Quite apart from
playing superbly, it is aesthetically beautiful, its elegant bell
flare being enhanced both visually and acoustically by a broad
garland (kranz).
