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).
