This is a lovely, yellow brass Paxman 25A in very good condition. It's lacquered - and the lacquer is virtually flawless - and it's got a screw bell. This is Paxman's famous 'dual bore' horn (email me for explanation if you need one) and it plays just like you'd expect - seamlessly, easily and freely. All the notes are in their right places, of course, and the sound is just beautiful: this horn has a 'New World' or 'American' bell - Paxman's largest current offering - and so makes that BIG, 'Hollywood' sound. Of course, Paxman valves are highly airtight so it's got a fabulous high register; the mid register is full and fluid and the low register is fat and meaty. It's a wonderful horn in excellent condition. £POA
