Schmid Triple F/Bb/F #17101 DH

WOW!!  This Schmid triple has perfect (rebuilt!) compression of 0.1 which means that this horn LOCKS IN so easily in the upper registers.  It's light, agile and due to having 2 different flares (Medium lacquered yellow brass hand hammered, AND an unlacquered yellow brass spun flare) it can produce a myriad of different sound qualities.  The lacquered hand hammered flare also has the gorgeously engraved kranz and the inside is silver plated.  This is a top notch professional horn ready to go.  Try it and you'll see why so many principal hornists worldwide play this model.  There are a few minor dings on this horn, and one slightly larger ding in the return loop on the F side.
