reversible 4th valve and multi-way adjustable

The G3 pipe seems to be the best-balanced all-round; the M pipe

has a little more resistance and the P4 feels similar to a Paxman

'Large' pipe.

similar but not  identical to Paxman E, 'Europa');

silver rotor casings and tuning slide inner / outer legs.

detachable bell flare.

A superb,very lightweight free-blowing horn, hand made

in Germany by skilled crafts-persons using top quality materials and

parts made in the Finke workshop.  I have visited Vlotho and

observed their superb workmanship for myself.


 

The design and general architecture of this

Finke model is that of an original CARL GEYER

double horn, with its wide hoop and small

diameter change valve.

 

Further details: a really wonderful and versatile

hand-made double horn. The build quality and

craftsmanship are superb.

Every pitch is exactly where you expect it to be,

the rotor action is smooth, light and positive,

and the potential range of tonal colours is

awesome.

This is a lightly used 2nd hand horn in excellent

condition.

 

Case: 'Fusion' very well-padded gig bag with back pack

straps.  

 

 A totally beautiful horn in every way.
