The Alexander Model 403 features a change valve that is located centrally on the back, so that the weight is well balanced. In addition, the valves rotate with the air stream, so that only slight disturbance is generated versus standard rotors. The particularly long leadpipe provides a soft response and sound.

Specifications:

• Key: Bb/High F
• Bell: Medium taper in Gold Brass
• Leadpipe: Gold Brass with Nickel Receiver
• Slides: Nickel inner/outer with Brass Crooks
• Features: Centralized change valve

Each consignment horn that we sell is thoroughly tested by our staff to ensure that you are receiving a quality product. Good overall mechanical and cosmetic condition, with smooth response and playability.
