These very fine, handmade horns rarely find their way onto the used market - people just don't tend to sell them once they've actually got one and have seen what all the fuss is about.  (This example comes from a professional player who has embarked upon a second, alternative career.)

Schmid horns are wonderfully lightweight, and play just superbly.  If you're reading this, you'll already know all about them so I won't belabour their excellence here.  This descant is in very nice cosmetic condition - just a few, superficial blemishes and the odd, tiny area of missing lacquer - and, in playng terms, it's in perfect condition.  It plays wonderfully, as you would expect.  The valves are silky smooth, silent, incredibly fast and incredibly airtight. And everything works exactly as it should.  A detachable F extension is included in this sale.

This is a very fine horn for a discerning player...
