Orchestral hand horn

Technical description: 3½ coils excluding crooks; angle between axis of mouthpipe / crook receiver and axis of bell 143°; yellow brass, silver-plated inside bell and parts of body. Metal construction: ferrule-covered joint between intermediate segment and bell; long bell segment (traversing over one-and-a-half turns); single seamed gusseted bell, garland width 38. Master and coupler type crooks. Two masters (203a) and (203b) are present in the material accompanying this horn; they appear to be of different workmanship. There is also a shank (203c) sounding B♭ alto and a single crook (203g) sounding G. Four couplers combined with master crook give main tonalities from G to C basso. Short tuning bit (203n) has nothing to do with this horn - the tapers are of quite different size. Coupler (203g) is of different workmanship from (203d), (203e) and (203f). For higher tonalities, shank (203c) is used with a separate set of short couplers coiled in reverse sense, (203h) and (203i) also (203j) which is of different workmanship from (203h) and (203i). Other equipment in the set are four short tuning bits (203k) - (203n). Repair History: Reinforcements over hand hold and two small patches.
