ALEXANDER 102 compensating double
£1,390.00
This elegant, refined and mellow-sounding
vintage Alexander compensator with detachable
bell flare is perhaps a pre-WW2 instrument,
lovingly preserved.
Attractively lightweight, made of unlacquered yellow
brass, it weighs only 2.1 kg, probably due to its
hollow rotors. Also, the bell flare is extraordinarily
light, at 9.5oz / 269 gm (and rather fragile: there is
a small slightly dented area about 2 cm across,
where the brass is thinnest).
Although it feels comfortably compact in the playing
position, enhanced by an adjustable duck's foot,
its owner has recently suggested that
the position of the 4th valve lever might be slightly
awkward for a player with small hands.
As can be seen in the photos, the instrument has
had a full life; nevertheless, it still plays beautifully.
Although a professional-quality horn, it is also
listed in the Intermediate category because
of its modest price.
