'MEISTER' COMPENSATING DOUBLE
£350.00
The 'MEISTER', a good and inexpensive F/Bb
compensating horn, serial number 139145,
was made in the 'WELTKLANG' workshop.
Engraved 'Made in GDR' (the former East Germany)
it is essentially a Meister Hans Hoyer.
Manufactured as an 'Intermediate' production line
instrument, (rather than hand-made), in order to
keep the price down, it comes with a Paxman 4B
mouthpiece and a good Paxman 'retro' fibreglass case.
Weighing only 2.22 kg, it is quite light for a horn of this type.
Its 4th valve lever is rather more conveniently
placed for a young player's left hand than that of
e.g. an Anborg compensator: measuring 11cm
from the finger hook to the 4th valve lever, however,
it is best suited to a player with quite a wide hand span
rather than a small hand.
Despite its 'much used' looks, it plays very well over the
entire range, its F side being a lot more free-blowing than
that on many inexpensive compensators.
