ThumbnailAnother very rare instrument - a Paxman Model 60 descant horn in Bb and Bb soprano. It's fitted with an A(+) valve and a New World bell so it makes a dark, warm, 8D-like sound. Manufactured in lacquered nickel-silver, it's in excellent condition throughout and has retained most of its lacquer.

The Model 60 is a made-to-order only instrument, and not many have been made (under 1000 in total, I believe). This one comes from the early days at Paxman and will have been made either in the 1960s or 1970s, when Paxman horns were 100% handmade.

It's a specialist horn, obviously, but can also be used as a main, day to day instrument with a 'secret weapon' for the high register! It plays sublimely - a very fine playing horn.

It comes in a hard, black case and is supplied with an extension slide to drop the pitch of the alto horn to Eb for a slightly less 'grainy' sound.

Paxman 'pre-Model 40' - double descant horn from 1967! PDF Print E-mail

ThumbnailThis is a very rare horn, and a very beautiful and eminently playable instrument. It's an early, prototype-like full double descant horn in Bb/A(+)/F alto and dates from 1967, the seller tells me.

It carries many of the hallmarks of the soon-to-come Model 40, and plays just like one. It's extremely well made - over-engineered, if anything - and, considering its age, it's in stunning condition with hardly a blemish anywhere.

It comes in its original hard, black Paxman case and is made in lacquered yellow brass, with the lacquer maybe 95% intact. Remarkable.

ThumbnailRecently arrived is this lovely Alex full triple. It's the older model - the 307 - and these are preferred by many players. It's in lacquered yellow brass with a screw bell, lacquer maybe 90% intact. If you're looking at buying one of these you'll know all about it, so I won't go on about it here. Suffice it to say that these wonderful horns aren't so sought-after for nothing, and this one plays like it's from heaven.

In superb condition, it comes in its original flat, crocodile effect case which is also in great condition.
