its owner reports that it was fully overhauled very

recently by Rox Cox Brass Repairs, Kent.

During that overhaul, the distance from the finger

hook to the F alto change valve lever was reduced 

to slightly less than 10 cm.


 

Rotor compression: very good


Case: Paxman dark red fibreglass,

excellent condition, with detachable shoulder strap.


 

Further details: A lovely example of this ‘classic’

Paxman Model 40 horn in its pre-1985 layout,

considered by many players to be superior to

the currently available design.


This is a particularly fine example, with an

excellent free-blowing Bb side and a mellow-

sounding F-alto, with a rounder, richer sound

than is sometimes found in other instances of

this iconic model. 

  Its sound is rather like the dark red colour of

its case!
