If you haven't already listened to the London Horn Sound - go do it now. You'll see why Paxman horns are desired around the globe. The sound is unmistakable. This is a lacquered 25A, that means it is a dual bore horn (the Bb side has a slightly smaller bore to ensure the same ease of playing as the longer F side of the horn). The 'A' designation stands for 'American' - meaning the flare is slightly larger than the 25M to fit in with the American horn sound concept.
The fingerhook has been replaced with an adjustable Alexander hook (a $75 value), and other than that it is all original. The compression is great at 1.6.
There are tiny dings as to be expected by professional use, and a few instances of lacquer wear - but nothing that affects the playability in any way.
Truly a professional horn - save a bundle over a new one! (Owner has retired from playing).
Marcus Bonna ultralight detachable bell horn case included. (MBUL detachable)
