Newly arrived (and newly reconditioned) is this superb Yamaha Custom 668VS. This is a screw bell Kruspe style F/Bb full double horn in unlacquered yellow brass. It's got an extra-large bell - so sounds like a Conn 8D - but has highly airtight valves, so has a high register like a Paxman. These are handmade horns and nothing like Yamaha's still very fine, but lesser quality, 'professional' horns - the 668 (and their Geyer variant, the 667). This instrument is in superb, virtually as-new condition and has hardly been used. It comes with its original brown luxury case, which is also in excellent condition. As one would imagine, the horns plays just superbly. They don't use these in the London Philharmonic Orchestra for nothing... £POA |
