HANS HOYER Bb/A
£590.00
Maker: MEISTER HANS HOYER
Made in GDR, the former East Germany
Type: Single Bb/A+, fairly similar (but not identical)
to an Alexander Model 90.
Bore / Throat: medium
Alloy: yellow brass
Bell flare: fixed
Visual/cosmetic condition: fairly good all round; there is
lacquer wear in the usual places and also where
braces have been repaired. A few small dings and
knocks are merely cosmetic issues with no effect on
the horn's playing qualities. These small blemishes
are reflected in the very reasonable price.
Weight: 1.93 kg
A fluent player over the whole range, surprisingly light in weight. In common with many East German-made Bb/A+ horns, its stopping 'H-piece' is slightly too long for well-tuned stopped notes. However, with good, tight, right hand technique, without the H-piece, the A slide pulled a long way out gives excellent stopped notes.
NB: although a professional-quality horn, it is also listed in the Intermediate category on account of its sub-£2K price.
