Alexander 107 full double descant horn in gold brass PDF Print E-mail
ThumbnailThis is a very fine instrument which plays unusually well - unusually well even for an Alexander.  It's in very good condition generally but it has had a rather crude modification:  the valve levers have been 'trimmed' and coins have been added.  Nothing wrong with the coins - this is a common modification - but there really was no need to trim the levers!  We will be re-positioning the coins and tidying this job up;  or, at modest extra cost, we can replace the levers with new ones.

 

This apart, this is a wonderful horn:  it's been made in unlacquered gold brass and has a screw bell.  Valve compression is awesome, the slides are all airtight and it plays like a dream.
