GERHARD SCHNEIDER copy of Alexander 103
£885.00
RESERVED FOR TRIAL PERIOD
This unlacquered yellow brass horn, its bell throat engraved:
GERHARD SCHNEIDER
MASTER MODEL
sponsored by
Boosey & Hawkes
was made in Markneukirchen, GDR (the former East Germany.)
It is patterned after the Alexander 103, although it has a bore of
11.9mm, and a slightly more generous bell throat.
The bell on this example is lightly made, so it responds
easily.
The horn has been restored to as-new functional
condition by the UK's only independent horn maker,
Tom Fisher; with a new set of valve rotors, giving 100% valve
compression, it plays well across the range.
The thumb lever has been revised so that it will stand in Bb,
and the finger hook moved to make
it suitable for a smaller hand.
With these modifications it would make an ideal first full
double for a learner, or it would suit a serious amateur.
NB: the horn is currently with its owner in Derbyshire, UK.
