This wonderful instrument comes from the days when Paxman horns were 100% handmade. The second you play it, you can tell why these instruments are so fiercely sought-after: it's got a full and warm sound (unusually warm, given the medium bell), every note is in its right place, intonation is superb on all 3 horns, and changing between them is seamless. Obviously, it's not a lightweight instrument and, if you're looking at buying one of these, you'll be aware of these and other issues; that said, it's not over-heavy (nowhere near as heavy as a full triple) and is simply perfect for orchestral use. It's a joy to play.
Used by a retiring top professional player throughout its life, it's now ready for its next home...
