John Packer JP261 Rath French Horn – student, full double, Bb/F (used instrument) Product DescriptionThis is a used Packer/Rath JP261 French Horn (serial number: 26100159) The JP261 is a full double model. The model was designed as a student model and certainly has a student price tag, but the instrument would suit many advancing players too if they have a tighter budget.One of our brass technicians has serviced the instrument as necessary and it is in very good order. The instrument plays well and is in good cosmetic condition.As is often the case with the majority of the items that we list on Ebay, the ‘make an offer’ option is provided to open the possibility of price negotiation. Please feel welcome to contact us on the telephone numbers at the foot of the listing or send an Ebay message. Features (taken from the Packer website)The JP261 RATH is a full double Bb/F French Horn designed and manufactured in collaboration with Michael Rath of Rath Trombones. Michael Rath is highly regarded for his trombone designs, but what is less well known is that he spent ten years working with Paxman’s making French Horns. Rath instruments are renowned for the build quality and high level of finish on their instruments and the JP261 RATH is no different. Featuring an exclusively designed Rath leadpipe, the JP261 RATH incorporates many other sophisticated Rath design elements and draws on Michael's collective experience at Paxman and at Rath creating custom instruments for some of the world's more demanding players. The JP261 RATH provides an instrument that is affordable to students but that deliver performance that challenges models many more times its price. The JP261 RATH is constructed from high grade 80:20 brass throughout and includes an exclusive Rath designed leadpipe. As you would expect from an instrument at this level, the JP261 RATH includes neoprene valve bumpers, a mechanical (ball & socket) linkage and bell ring. The JP261 RATH also includes an adjustable and reversible Bb/F lever for those who prefer the horn to stand in Bb rather than F.
The JP263 RATH comes equipped with a high quality case for maximum protection. The case is lightweight, well-designed and attractively styled with the option for a comfortable shoulder strap. The case also includes a small external storage pocket enabling players to store small accessories and sheet music with their instrument. SpecificationsKey: Bb/F Bell: High grade 80:20 brass Valves: Mechanical (Ball & Socket) Linkage Finish: Lacquer Additional features: Exclusive Rath designed leadpipe, double horn system, Neoprene valve bumpers, Bell ring, Adjustable and reversible Bb+F lever. The included mouthpiece is unbranded but we assume it is the John Packer mouthpiece that these horns are supplied with as standard. Please get in touch prior to finalising the transaction if you would like us to include an alternative mouthpiece, or indeed any other brass accessories from our stock with the shipment.The instrument is supplied in the original hard case. ConditionThe instrument has been thoroughly checked over and serviced as required by our experienced brass technicians. The instrument is in good mechanical order and plays really well. It is ideally suited to beginners/intermediate players. The instrument itself is very tidy cosmetically. There are not any significant flaws of note. However there are some scratches to the bell flare and some further scratches and marks to the mouthpipe. These flaws are very minor and will not affect the blowing capabilities of the instrument in any way. Apart from minor scratches, the instrument remains in very good shape and has been looked after well. The mouthpiece is used but has been cleaned and polished and the case is in good working order. Scuff marks are minimal. It’s just beginning to fray very slightly, and the plastic mouthpiece socket is loose. There is also an internal black strap which is clearly broken but I can’t see what it was supposed to do anyway. Returns/WarrantyIf on initial inspection you are disappointed in any way, you may return it and receive a full refund. You are most welcome to visit and test the instrument in our playing room prior to making a commitment.We are able to offer the instrument with a full mechanical warranty for three months as is standard with second hand instruments, but only a limited cosmetic warranty (limited to significant issues).
