SCHMID Model ES1, gold brass
£7,500.00
OUT ON APPROVAL
Maker: ENGELBERT SCHMID
Model: ES1
Serial number: 1288
Type: Lacquered gold brass full double in F/Bb or Bb/F.
As with all Schmid double horns, the ingenious design incorporates a detachable 'H' piece on the main tuning slide. When this is removed, the horn is in F# / B natural or B natural / F#. Another bonus of the Schmid design is that the two main slides can be pulled out far enough to give E/A rather than F/Bb. Very useful for e.g. the Spohr Octet in E!
Detachable 'Medium' bell flare with nickel silver garland/kranz
Water key: TWO 'JoyKeys'
Duck's foot
Overall condition: Very good, with slight lacquer wear in the
expected places.
Weight: 2.25 kg
Case: Paxman-style flat black fibreglass case by 'Kingham'.
Unexpectedly back on the market, this beautiful horn was sold
to its current owner by Halstead Music about 2.5 years ago.
When I had it here I loved it so much that I nearly bought it myself!
The horn is housed with its owner in Barkway, Hertfordshire, UK.
