The horn is in nice condition with typical signs of use for a horn approaching 24 years. There are wear spots in the lacquer and some minor signs of dent work and solder repair.

The fully developed combination of the B-flat horn and the F horn offers the musician great flexibility in intonation and sound. Furthermore, there is a certain degree of correlation between mass and carrying power.
