WELTKLANG compensating double
£525.00
'WELTKLANG' is a traditional retail name, at
least 60 years old, used by 'Meister Hans
Hoyer' for his factory-made horns; so, in
effect, a Weltklang is a Hoyer horn.
This F/Bb compensating horn's build-quality is good, as is its valve compression.
Cosmetically, there are several small, acoustically non-invasive dings and surface blemishes.
In its playing qualities, this attractive, fairly lightweight horn (2.15 kg) has a medium-light ringing tone quality, a velvety low register that speaks very clearly for a compensator, and an impressively even response over the whole range.
The horn's 4th valve is currently set in F/Bb.
The 3 valve levers are fitted with a set of flexible finger-pad extensions to cater for a small hand and /or short fingers.
If these detachable pads are not required, the price can be reduced to £515.
The horn comes with a silver plated mouthpiece in
good condition, ultrasonically cleaned and
disinfected.
The hard case is functional but rather worn.
Generally, a very good,
inexpensive compensator that will take a
young player up to Grade 8.
