Very nice unnamed single F horn - suit beginner or for practice...? PDF Print E-mail

Thumbnail

We don't usually sell single F horns because of their limited applications.  However, very occasionally a really nice example comes along which plays very well indeed and here is such an instrument, in unlacquered yellow brass.  It would suit someone who wants a single F horn to practice arpeggios and flexibilities on (at the office, or something...?) or a beginner who wants an inexpensive lightweight instrument which does play and sound like a French horn should.  This is very definitely not a cheap student instrument.  That said, it bears no maker's name although the remnants of a sticker on which it says 'Made in Italy' are present. Whatever it may be, it plays really well, is in superb condition and is priced to sell.  It comes in a 'boat' case which, although functional, has a faulty catch (which a bit of DIY will fix).

The picture shows the horn before we've reconditioned it, so it will look a little brighter once it's been through our workshop.  It will come fully reconditioned and with our usual full 3-year guarantee and a high quality mouthpiece (if you want one).
