BOOSEY & Co Class A Vintage Alto Horn / Tenor Horn. Lightvalve C1899 Antique.
Beautiful Vintage Alto / Tenor horn made in England in approximately 1899 by Boosey & Co. (Later to become Boosey & Hawkes). 3 Valve Horn in wonderful Silver Plate finish.
Bell details state; CLASS A. TRADEMARK BOOSEY. LIGHTVALVE. BOOSEY & Co. MAKERS. 295 REGENT ST. LONDON.
Serial number reads 52934. A beautifully crafted musical instrument made by talented Craft persons in England. Valve numbers, 22,23 & 24. 44276. Valves all move freely with equal spring tension across all. There are obviously many marks and dings etc as you would expect for such an elderly brass instrument of over 120 years. Very surprisingly the silver plate is in exceptional condition regarding coverage. Slides are all free. A Great opportunity to become the next custodian of this Super Horn. Supplied with very nice G 60 mouthpiece.
I feel I should now state the obvious and say that this horn is over 120 years old and not new. It will therefore have dings, dents, scratches, tarnished areas etc. I may also need remedial work etc to perform as required to your personal taste.
Horn will be packaged with care for safe, recorded delivery via Royal Mail or collection available from south Leicestershire.
