      I figured I would add to this discussion by posting a link to my shop’s page - I do fairly regular blog posts there, usually about the more interesting horns that cross my bench. I’ve had a few that belong in this category because even though they might be in perfect shape, they don’t function properly in a modern playing situation. This one is a prime example - perfect and beautiful but not a good player, probably why they didn’t make it for long! It sold easily to a collector, though.

              @Tobylou8 It is super tiny! That was a Bach 184 it was next to.

                      @flugelgirl Exceptional! The depth of the engraving and the condition of the horn and the case are remarkable. You mention "... a higher key...". Just out of curiosity, what key does it play in?

                            What an amazing looking horn. The detail in the engraving work is something to behold.

                              It really is an exceptional little horn! It’s also tiny - about the size of an Eb cornet. Cutest tiny flugel ever!

                                Is it even remotely playable?

                                  @administrator it actually plays really well! The trick is just finding a situation to play it in - not like there’s been any demand for it in modern groups!
