ThumbnailThis is a really nice, inexpensive horn.  It's a Kruspe wrap horn but with a medium bell and it is a joy to play.  There are players who favour one wrap or the other - Kruspe or Geyer - and generally Kruspe wrap horns have extra-large bells and Geyer wrap horns have medium bells.  Of course, Paxman have demonstrated with spectacular effect that any bell size will work perfectly on a Geyer wrap horn;  the obverse is also true and here's a horn that proves it.

In lacquered nickel-silver (around 90%+ intact) and with a fixed bell, this is a lovely, free-blowing full F/Bb double horn in not far short of as-new condition.  It comes in a black hard case which is nothing to write home about but perfectly okay.
