Vintage FLUGELHORN By COUESNON PARIS -
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:14727693 |
This horn was made in 1929, as can be told by the usual Couesnon grapefruit with 29 in it. The model is a Monopole. It is in working order, although the valves are worn, as the horn is old and very well used. The valves will probably need new plating.
Otherwise, the horn is in good shape for a 90 year old. All the slides move. Felts are red. Cork is where it should be.
This horn seems as ...if it was once totally silver. Over the years, much of the silver has worn off, and today, there is much raw brass showing, although there are some nice silver places, esp. on the bell.
It is a lovely horn, and I will miss it, but since I don't play anymore, and have many other vintage horns, I have to reduce the number.
Forget the auction. I wanted to make this Buy It Now or Best offer. But e-bay didn't let me do it, or I couldn't figure out how. So the best offer will get the Couesnon.
