Paxman 80M - compensating triple - in very good condition PDF Print E-mail

ThumbnailThis 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...
