GERHARD SCHNEIDER 'Alexander' copy
£790.00
Maker: GERHARD SCHNEIDER
Model: a generalised copy of a vintage
Alexander 103, broadly similar to the Boosey &
Hawkes 'Imperial', but made in the Hans Hoyer
factory in GDR, the former East Germany.
Serial number: 147354M
Type: F / Bb full double
Bell throat profile: medium
Alloy: silver-plated brass
Water key: conventional type, on the leadpipe.
Case: original, in good condition.
Further details: a good example of this robustly-
made Alexander 103 copy with a central / cylindrical
bore of 11.9 mm, which is smaller than the modern
Alexander bore of 12.1 mm.
Although slightly on the heavy side, (2.6 kg) it has a more
compact shape than some modern 'Intermediate' horns
such as the Yamaha 567 or the Holton 378.
It has quite a comfortable left hand position, with its thumb-
plate at a more ergonomically correct angle than that which
is sometimes found on this model.
It comes with a Denis Wick mouthpiece.
The horn plays with a ringing sonority and well-
centred notes over the entire range.
NB: the horn is currently with its owner in Leeds,
West Yorkshire, UK.
