Excellent Original Carl Geyer 5-Valve Single Bb French Horn
Five valves all recently ( ? ) rebuilt, nickel plated. No thin spots, no patches. Original mouthpipe, NOTE very sharp engraving to the bell. Used case included. Some history is maybe possible. From the thirties ?” 5-valve Bb horns are a bit rare, especially one from the Geyer workshop.
I can't remember every seeing a similar horn from Geyer. It's possible that our horn is a bit earlier, maybe from the thirties. Please see the engraving which is somewhat floral, still sharp.
Valves have been rebuilt, now are nickel-plated. Not sure who did the work, but the tolerances are good, don't show rotor wear to the casings.
*** Other "normal" used horns are available, clean and without dents or damage. But it seems they never stay in the shop very long. Really nice examples sell quickly!
