PAXMAN H45M
£7,500.00
Model: Paxman H45M
Type: Bb/A+/F alto
Alloy: lacquered yellow brass
Serial number: 5901C
Bell throat: Medium
Bell flare: detachable
Weight: 2.5 kg
Water key: conventional type, on the leadpipe.
Visual / cosmetic: excellent, its lacquer in superb condition.
There is one very small 'ding' in the 'false' (non-acoustic)
pipe from the F alto change valve. This part of the tubing
contains no air-flow, serving only to support the left
hand 'hold'.
Rotor compression: excellent.
Mini-ball linkages.
Case: Marcus Bonna, in good condition.
Further details: A superb example of a
Paxman H45M with a Medium bell flare.
This is Paxman's re-creation of the earlier 1970s-1990s
'Merewether' Model 40 design, in which the F-alto change
valve is contained 'within the circle' rather than outside it.
In the later design, the change valve forms part of the
upper final bell curve. This can be seen here:

Our current horn has had very light use, is in 'almost new'
condition, and plays beautifully. The slightly smaller-bore
tubing of the F-alto side seems to focus and concentrate
the sound in the high register, requiring less effort to
produce a clear, ringing timbre.
PRICE COMPARISON: A brand-new H45M with
exactly this specification costs £11,180.
