This is an extremely unusual horn! It's an original Lidl - made in Brno, in the old Czech Republic - as opposed to the poor quality UK 'educational' horns which have been marketed under the same name. It's a much better instrument than these alleged 'Lidl' horns made under licence in Europe and the UK.

As you can see from the picture, it's been silver and gold plated! Yes, real silver and real gold! So it's something of an oddity but it does play extremely well. It's a Kruspe copy and has an extra-large bell - so it makes a really BIG, dark, warm, creamy sound, just like a Conn 8D or a Paxman New World. It's plays very well indeed, with an excellent high register; all the notes are in their correct places and the internal intonation is fine. The silver and gold plate are pretty much 100% intact. I've actually done a couple of shows on this horn for fun, and it does play really very well indeed - absolutely useable and you do get lots of comments!

Something different anyway, eh?!
