This late-80s German Bb/A+ horn was hand-crafted in the GDR. It is constructed of lacquered (80%) brass with extensive nickel silver trim – including nickel inner slides. The A+ thumb lever has mechanical linkage, and the other three valve levers have been extended with dimes. The horn is in very good physical condition, although there has been considerable lacquer degradation over the years from hand contact and re-soldering of various braces (see photos). It is extremely free-blowing and features outstanding projection, making it ideal for solo/theatre work. It is being sold with a new light-weight gig bag (see pictures), but without the horn stand seen in photos. There is no mouthpiece. NO RESERVE. No returns accepted – please ask questions before bidding (see photos). Zero/negative feedback bidders will be rejected. PayPal preferred. Shipping and insurance quote is for lower 48 only. Please note - due to expiring eBay sales incentives this instrument will NOT be relisted on this venue; if interested, bid now.
