Alexander 103G

As with all horns - the heart of the horn is the valves - and this Alex 103G has GREAT compression. It's made of lacquered gold brass and has a fixed bell. There is plenty of lacquer wear but it seems to be from past repairs, not from wear and tear as there is no loss of lacquer where one holds the horn. There is evidence of repaired bell damage (thus the lacquer wear), and of a couple repaired solder joints - but overall this horn is in great playing condition. If you want the sound of the Berlin horns - this would be a good place to start.

Alexander 103GD

An oldie, but goodie - that's how I'd describe this 103G detachable bell Alexander. The valves have lowish compression, but the horn plays quite nicely and has a great classic sound. There are a few patches/guards up at the top where one would carry the horn, and another larger patch inside the flare. The leadpipe has the European tapered shank.

Alexander 107 Modified Bb/F/Eb

Built in 1979 this Alexander Descant is a one of a kind. The extra leadpipe changes the horn to a high Eb configuration, this modification was done by Alexander in Germany. This horn has bronz rotors (not the Tryplen valves of old..) which are tight and have their full compression.

Only a couple very minor dings in the flare - otherwise it's in gorgeous condition as can be seen in the photos.

Alexander Flat case included.

Alexander 107GD

This gold brass Alexander 107 Descant has had one owner and is in good condition. The compression is fabulous and there are now thin spots (the horn is all original).

The additional muting valve is great for those stopped Bb passages.

Alexander Descant model 107V

Alexander only made a handful of the model 107V and it's an interesting design. It's a compensating Bb/high F horn. The bell is nickel and I'm not certain if it's the bell that originally came with the horn (but it is an Alexander bell). It's miniature size is perfect for standing gigs (think: Bach B Minor Mass). The valves have fair compression, and the horn has minor dings throughout. A real collector's item.

Conn 6D # L25386 Elkhart

This is a Conn 6D from the heyday of the Conn Instrument company. It's in all original condition with good compression. The lacquer has been removed, and it shows wear (minor dents) throughout. That being said it's a great playing horn. This is the same model as used by the principal hornist of the BSO during that era.
