CANTESANU / YAMAHA conversion
£3,550.00
Maker: YAMAHA Model 667 customised by
Felix Cantesanu
Type: F/Bb full double
Bell throat profile: M (medium)
Alloy: unlacquered yellow brass
Bell flare: detachable
Water key: Getzen/Amado, on the leadpipe
Weight: 2.49 kg
Visual/cosmetic condition: very good, apart from one
small 'ding' on the bell flare and a few tiny surface blemishes near
the 'napkin ring' large end of the 1st branch. These are purely
cosmetic issues that have no effect on the horn’s very fine playing
qualities.
Valve compression: excellent
Case: Marcus Bonna
Further details: this wonderful horn is a really great player,
flexible and ultra-responsive over the entire range. It feels
'alive' in the hands and on the lips, with an intense, focussed
'sound palette'. The hand-made Cantesanu
leadpipe and the unstressed braces and ferrules contribute to
the horn's free-blowing qualities; quite remarkable is that this
nominally 'Medium' instrument has a dynamic range that is
much wider than that of an 'off the shelf' YHR-667.
A totally superb player with an even response
over the entire range.
