REYNOLDS 'CONTEMPORA' Model FE01
£895.00
Maker: REYNOLDS
Model: FE01 'Contempora'
Type: F/Bb full double
Serial number: 244134
Bell throat profile: medium-large
Alloy: unlacquered nickel silver
Bell flare: fixed
Valve compression: very good
Water key: Amado/Getzen, on the leadpipe
Visual condition: good for its age; there are
various small scratches, minor dings and surface
blemishes that have no effect on the horn’s excellent
playing qualities. Also, there is a nickel silver patch on
the outer bell throat. The horn's price reflects these
cosmetic issues.
Weight: 2.49 kg
Original Reynolds case in much-used but functional
condition.
Further details: A very good example of this ‘classic’
free-blowing double horn. It has a very 'notchy' high
register, and its low register is beautifully open.
Several years ago the entire horn section of the London
Philharmonic Orchestra played Reynolds horns...quite a
powerful testimony to the quality of this model, sadly
no longer in production.
NB: Although a professional-quality horn, it is also
listed in the Intermediate category on account of its
modest price.
