This is one of the most affordable German-made horns in the country, especially a Geyer style wrap with a hand-hammered bell! Compensating double horns play in the same note range as a standard double horn, but benefit from a lighter construction due to less tubing. Best suited for an amateur player on a budget, or an older player wanting something lightweight.
To prepare for sale, the tuning slides and rotor top bearings were refit, and the trigger assembly was serviced with OEM Hoyer parts. Although it has signs of wear/repair, and was not ultrasonically cleaned, it does play and was inspected by our shop. Includes a lightweight Protec gig bag.
