French Horn

French horn. A cased French horn, with seven slides, plus one extra slide in the case, and four valves. In brass with white metal details. With a seperate white metal mouthpiece. All in a black imitation leather hard centre-opening case, lined with green baize, with black plastic handle and two metal clasps. Two paper luggage labels attached. Also found in the case were some advertising sheets for french horns from Rudall Carte & Co, so possibly this french horn was retailed by them. These are archived under this accession number.
