Sansone Five Valve Single Bb Horn

Location:

Stevens Point, WI

Description:

SansoneFive-Valve Single B♭ HornThis five-valve horn in was invented in 1914 by Lorenzo Sansone to solve certain problems he saw in the standard double horn. To a three valve B♭ horn he added a fourth valve effective to provide the fundamental and harmonics of the F horn. A fifth valve not only provides an E horn and an A horn (according to its slide adjustment) but also makes hand muting easy on the B♭ horn since it provides the necessary 3/4 tone lowering. Starting in 1916 this model was imported from Kruspe. Sansone established his own shop at 1658 Broadway in New York in 1925 advertising it as The Worlds Largest French Horn House. but only began producing this model himself in 1954.This instrument is sold as is in not working condition no returns.
