Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:586679 | Brand: Zimmermann |
Up for auction is a vintage Julius Heinrich Zimmermann English Horn, Cor Anglais! Julius Heinrich Zimmermann (1851-1922) started out as musical instrument dealer and was later known as wind, percussion and string instrument maker and supplier of all musical instruments as well as being music publisher. Zimmermann first established in 1875 in St. Petersburg, Russia and by 1882 the company was an exclusive supplier to the Russian army and in 1886 the headquarters moved to Leipzig. F...rom there their branches opened in Moscow, in London, and in Berlin.
This english horn was made around the turn of the century (end of 19th./early 20th) and is a historical instrument that would be great to play the works of Beethoven, Wagner, or Chaikovsky! The instrument look to be in great overall condition as there are no visible cracks nor any damage to the wood, which has a reddish tint. Considering the age of the instrument and the likelihood that the new proud owner will want to overhaul and fine-tune the instrument to his or her specifications, the english horn is being sold ‘for parts not working’ and is being sold with no warranties or returns accepted. The instrument comes as-is as pictured with 2 bocals (unmarked), a vintage reed case holder that looks to be made from cord, a reed and a case that has seen better days and will need to replaced.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and while I am not a musician, I will try to answer to the best of my abilities! Don’t miss out on a nice rare find for the collector/player and check out my other auctions for great instruments! Thank you for looking and good luck on the bidding!!!
