One of the problems many people have when they play descant horns is that they sound overly bright on the high F side of the horn. This model 40X solves that issue because it is their 'Extra Large' size. A gorgeous dark tone on both sides of the horn is easy to achieve. The other amazing benefits of this horn is that an F extension was later added (at the Paxman factory) so in essence you have a light weight triple horn with a stopping valve as well. The compression is PERFECT due to a complete valve rebuild.
The horn was made in 1975 and does have a lot of lacquer loss, and dings here and there, but due to the tight valves it plays fabulously.
Just cleaned and ready to go.
Paxman fixed bell case included.
