This is a wonderful, free-blowing Geyer style instrument. It's very similar in every respect to an original Geyer: the wrap and general architecture is virtually identical, the bells also; and, if anything, the workmanship is even better. Of course, it plays just sublimely - again like a Geyer original. In fact, if you compared this side by side with a Geyer original, but wearing a blindfold, you wouldn't be able to tell them apart - it plays THAT well.

It's in unlacquered gold brass with a few, superficial blemishes only - general condition is excellent, and so is valve compression. Listen to Haitinck's Mahler & Wagner CDs (with the Amsterdam Concertgebouw) to hear just how fabulous these very rare, very special horns sound...
