Musicians, here is a rare opportunity.  I bought this horn in Germany a number of years ago to add to my  accumulation (I hesitate to call it collection) of unusual horns.  I have never seen another one like it.  I'm now 80 years old (but I'm still playing jazz and German music); my wife says it's time to sell some horns ... so she won't have to do it later, after I kick the bucket.  The horn is a gem, in perfect condition and with perfect valve action.  Like new.  It is tuned by adjusting the lead pipe extension, as shown.  It sounds much like a flugelhorn.  I've played it several times on jazz gigs, but it has not been used very much.  It is an excellent player.  Although it looks much like the common non-valved Fuerst Pless post horns, it has no maker's mark on it.  INCLUDED WITH IT:  The fabric, fake-leather, form-fitted case that it came it.  This case gives it very little protection.  NOT INCLUDED:  Mouthpiece not included.  I bought a lightweight aluminum tool case and added foam rubber to make a more protective case for the horn.  Note that this is not a flight case; it is less sturdy than one.  If you win the bid, I'll sell you the case for an additional $20 over your winning bid (what I have invested in it).
