KRETZSCHMANN, Strasbourg, original 19th century hand horn with 8 crooks
£4,400.00
SOLD
The eight crooks comprise: Bb alto; A; G; F; E;
Eb; D and C (basso).
There is no coupler for Bb basso.
The paint in the bell is in generally good
condition, and the horn plays beautifully.
Its pitch range is from about A440 to A435.
The horn's old wooden box with crook
compartments is in useable but
rather scruffy condition.
It comes with a small silver plated mouthpiece that
fits the crooks's narrow receiver very well, and a
modern Paxman screw cup whose shank has been
modifed to a narrower taper.
A lovely, elegant piece of horn history that is
also a refined and sensitive instrument.
The photos can be viewed in greater detail
by opening and saving them.
