'MEISTER' COMPENSATING DOUBLE
£350.00
RESERVED
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, measuring 11cm
from the finger hook to the 4th valve lever,
is rather more conveniently
placed for a young player's left hand than that of
e.g. an Anborg compensator.
Nevertheless, the horn is probably best suited to a player
with quite a wide hand span rather than a small hand.
The black neoprene finger pads shown in most of the
photos simply raise the height of the valve levers, and can
be removed in a few seconds if not required.
Despite its 'much used' looks, the horn plays very well
over the entire range, its F side in particular being quite a lot
more free-blowing than that on many inexpensive
compensators.
The photos can be viewed in greater detail
by opening and saving them.
