SECOND HAND HORNS: JULY

The following list of second hand horns is divided into catagories according to the standard of instrument, i.e. beginner/intermediate/professional. We have attempted to give a description of the condition of each horn. Lacquer wear is purely cosmetic and does not effect the tone quality of the horn. Full double and compensating horns of the same manufacturing quality are on a par - it is a misconception to think of compensators as inferior.

The Paxman staff will be happy to help with any questions you may have, just phone: (0)20 7620 2077 or use our INFORMATION REQUEST FORM The prices shown are in pounds sterling. VAT is not normally applicable to second hand horns.
