Used Paxman 70A full triple French horn in nickel silver with cut bell, very good condition. Perfect for all high horn work in large orchestras, Broadway pits, and chamber work. The famous Merewether valve system, in which air flows through both the F and Bb sides of the horn in the same direction, produces liquid-smooth slurs and minimizes any acoustic disturbance by the valve change, making this horn a joy to play. Just out of the repair shop with a professional cleaning and precision rotor alignment as well as some minor dent work. From the collection of French horn virtuoso Sharon Moe. No case.
