SCHMID ES1 WITH TWO BELL FLARES
£6,500.00
Maker: ENGELBERT SCHMID
Model: ES1
Type: full double in F/Bb or Bb/F.
TWO Detachable Medium bell flares, one 'hand-hammered'
and the other 'spun'.
Alloy: Lacquered yellow brass, nickel silver leadpipe.
Overall condition: Very good, with slight lacquer wear in the
expected places, and a few minor dings in the hand-
hammered flare.
Weight: 2.25 kg
2 water keys, conventional type.
Case: Schmid/Cardo, airline-friendly, in excellent condition.
Further details: a really lovely example of Schmid's 'classic'
ES1 double horn; a wonderful player all round.
The only reason why it is for sale is that its owner now has a
Schmid triple horn.
I do remember very clearly that just before he bought this
superb horn, I was hoping that he wouldn't, so that I could
buy it myself!
An interesting bonus of the Schmid design is that the two main
slides can be pulled out far enough to give E/A rather than
F/Bb. Very useful for e.g. the Spohr Octet in E or the Weber
Concertino in E.
The photos can be viewed in greater detail
by opening and saving them.
