This horn could pass for new - there's not a scratch or a dent on it. Professionally owned and maintained it's less than 1 year old. This horn is made of lacquered yellow brass. Finke triple horns are SO in demand right now that one government ordered 24 of them for their orchestras!!
Here's the scoop directly from the Finke website:
The Finke Full Triple Horn Finke produces one of the lightest weight triple horns. The full triple only weights 2.7 kg with detachable bell. The well balanced horn allows it to be held in playing position over a long period without tiring. Apart from the mouthpiece receiver FINKE triple horns are the only ones with separate mouthpipes for the high and low horn sections. The intonation benefits from this design. Finke triple horns have a full tone, even in the low register. Thus professional musicians especially appreciate the high F section of their Finke horn. It has an astoundingly sonorous tone. Another feature of our outstanding design is the possibility to set the descant F section using a longer tuning slide into descant Eb.
The high F horn produces a remarkably full sound and a broader spectrum than usual with every note. The otherwise rather steely tone can be shaped and blended into the overall sound of an orchestra in a harmonically inconspicuous way. Even connoisseurs would have to make an effort to hear the high F components in a musician's playing on a FINKE horn. The treble double horns from the FINKE program also deserve such praise.
All of this PLUS it includes a leather Marcus Bonna case! All of this together, new, would cost well over $16,000.
A truly professional package.
