Up for auction is a Yamaha 668 Double French Horn (serial number 002634). The engraving on the leadpipe reads "YHR 668N" and the finger button rail reads "Yamaha Japan". The 668N is a Kruspe wrap symphony double horn, and is constructed from solid nickel silver. This instrument plays very well. The valves have like new compression, and the slides all move of course. As for the aesthetic condition of this horn, there are a couple of tiny dings throughout the horn, as well as several areas of rippling and scratching. All this is visible in the pictures, and none of it affects the playability of the horn. This instrument has been professionally cleaned in our shop and repaired to full playability. This horn is not lacquered; therefore fingerprints should be wiped off after use if the player wished for the horn to stay as shiny as it is now; if they are not wiped off then the horn will develop a lovely patina. This instrument comes with a somewhat worn hardshell case, and a mouthpiece in good condition.
