Yellow brass, nine crooks (including Bb coupler) Charles Roth (Strasbourg) , pre-1870. The “New Langwill Index” quotes… Established by Charles Roth, successor to Buehner & Kellner, the firm later claimed to have been established in 1792. Original pistons are very tight, appear to have never been acid-dipped. No dents, no damage, no patches. Perfect for Gilbert & Sullivan, Rossini, Cesar Franck. Two original mouthpieces, original box / case. French guarantee stamp on the bell, which means the horn was built before 1870. The Germans won, of course, the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, gained Alsace / Elsass in the conflict. I’ll be in France in late October, could hand-carry this rare horn to you. More photos are possible, of course. Questions about French horns? Want to compare the best horns?
