its owner reports that it was fully overhauled very
recently by Rox Cox Brass Repairs, Kent.
During that overhaul, the distance from the finger
hook to the F alto change valve lever was reduced
to slightly less than 10 cm.
Rotor compression: very good
Case: Paxman dark red fibreglass,
excellent condition, with detachable shoulder strap.
Further details: A lovely example of this ‘classic’
Paxman Model 40 horn in its pre-1985 layout,
considered by many players to be superior to
the currently available design.
This is a particularly fine example, with an
excellent free-blowing Bb side and a mellow-
sounding F-alto, with a rounder, richer sound
than is sometimes found in other instances of
this iconic model.
Its sound is rather like the dark red colour of
its case!
