Estimated price for orientation: 425 $
Category: French Horns
Class:
Description Brand: Lidl Bell Material: Brass Type: Double Horn Country/Region of Manufacture: Czech Republic Finish: Clear Lacquer Skill Level: Intermediate
A full double F/Bb French Horn, made by the excellent Josef Lidl company of Brno. These are designed for the student, amateur and improving player. They blow well. This one is a more recent one, with lacquered finish. This is not a professional-level instrument. This one is in pretty good condition. These horns often lead a pretty hard life, but this has only a few light knocks of no consequence and some tarnish to the lacquered finish, mainly where it touches the player, or where it is out of sight in normal use, see photos. I have definitely shown the very worst places in the photos. It is dent-free, just a few shallow dings remain. The rotor valves move smoothly and the slides all slide nicely. I have given it a good service before listing. The horn comes with an Eb tuning slide, for where the player is playing horn in Eb parts, to save having to transpose all the fingerings from horn in F parts. The very low price, for one of these, reflects the cosmetic condition in places, but not its good playing qualities.
Any inspection is welcome, of course, prior to buying, at my home in Bridlington East Yorkshire YO16 6YU.
Postage by tracked Parcelforce or free collection in person. Cash preferred if collecting in person, PayPal, Postal Orders or a cleared cheque welcome for buyers using a delivery service. UPS one-day service, fully insured for total value, tracked also offered. The mouthpiece is a Yamaha 30, which I felt suited the horn well. With the wrong mouthpiece these can be a bit plummy, but this one sounds good, clean and free in tone. The case is a close-to-new Gear4Music lightweight case, and very nice it is too, much better than the old, heavyweight cases these tended to acquire. I am used to shipping horns and will pack it up very carefully to avoid damage in transit. I am not prepare to ship abroad, sorry. Please do not ask. This is a student instrument.
