Each consignment horn that we sell is thoroughly tested by our staff to ensure that you are receiving a quality product. These are the thoughts that were shared by our staff:

This Alexander Compensating Descant horn is a rare find! Handcrafted in Gold Brass, Alexander produced this model wrap in the 1960s to 1970s, and is not currently available new. It stands in Bb, with a High F trigger. This particular horn also features a stopping valve. The in-slide main tuning offers greater tuning range and stability than most tuning bit setups. While it currently plays well overall, this would we a great candidate for a valve rebuild for many more years of professional use.

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: Stopping valve
• Includes: Extra Main Slide in Yellow Brass
• Alexander Alligator/Wood Hardshell case included
