HANS HOYER Bb/A+ with built-in F extension
£790.00
Maker: MEISTER HANS HOYER
Made in GDR, the former East Germany
Type: Single Bb/A+/ F extension
similar (but not identical) to an Alexander 97
Bore / Throat: medium
Alloy: unlacquered gold brass
Bell flare: fixed
Visual/cosmetic condition: there is some tarnished brass in the
'hard-to-reach' places on the back of the horn, and a few minor
dings.
These purely cosmetic blemishes are the main reason for the
horn's very modest price.
Weight: 2.2 kg
A lovely player with a spectacular high register and a
surprisingly full, rich, 'complex' sound.
In common with many East German-made Bb/A+ horns, its stopping 'H-piece' is slightly too long for well-tuned stopped notes. However, with good, tight, right hand technique, without the H-piece, the A slide pulled a long way out gives excellent stopped notes.
