PAXMAN 'STUDENTI' Compensating double
£540.00
SOLD
Maker: PAXMAN
Model: ‘STUDENTI’
Type: compensating double in Bb/F (i.e.
standing in Bb, so that a young player doesn't
have to press the 4th valve lever to play on the
Bb side)
Bore/throat: medium
Alloy: unlacquered yellow brass.
Valve compression: very good
Cosmetic condition: good overall; however,
the brass is rather tarnished in a few hard-to-reach
places, but can be restored to a shine by brass
polish plus 30-45 minutes of moderately hard
work!
Weight: 2.45 kg
Mouthpiece: silver plated, good condition,
ultrasonically cleaned.
Further details: The Paxman 'Studenti' is
1) a recommendable 'beginner to intermediate'
instrument;
2) a definite upgrade from a ‘mini' or ‘kinder horn’;
3) an ‘improver’ instrument, up to about Grade 8, for a young player.
An interesting, useful 'technical bonus' is that the domes of the rotor caps incorporate small adjusting screws that allow for the inevitable up-and-down play of the valves, due to their usage over a period of time. A very small allen key is provided for this purpose.
The horn plays beautifully over the whole
range and is totally recommendable.
There is a basic, well-used case with this horn, but
various inexpensive options of gig-bag, hard case or
back-pack case are available.
The photos can be viewed in greater detail
by opening and saving them.
