SCHMID Bb/F/Eb-alto triple
£10,900.00
A superb Bb/F/Eb-alto full triple horn
by ENGELBERT SCHMID, the innovative maker
in Mindelzell, Germany.
This screw-bell, lacquered (99% OK) gold-brass horn
plays beautifully. It comes with a 'W' flare with a nickel
silver garland/kranz.
Not only does the Eb alto side make a warmer, more
complex sound than an F alto, but the Bb horn's high
register is also spectacularly clear and fluent.
The ingenious overall design incorporates a detachable
H-shaped Bb tuning slide extension which can be
removed, putting the horn in B natural, so as to be able
to use, e.g. Eb fingerings for difficult passage-work in E.
Typical instances are e.g. the Octet by Spohr, and
Weber's Concertino in E. Similarly very useful is the
extra 'H piece', which, combined with the main slide,
puts the two lower horns into A and E.
There are 3 water keys, (conventional type), a
detachable duck's foot/flipper and an adjustable finger
hook to cater for all hand sizes.
Cosmetically/visually, there is one VERY tiny
ding, having absolutely no effect on the instrument’s
playing qualities, and a small amount of brown lacquer
'bleed' near the screw rings.
This lovely horn comes in its original Schmid 'suitcase'
with several side pockets and backpack straps.
