Thanks, Hoss Hello Hoss, I see than Hans has identified the horn as one from Wiener Horn Manufaktur. The wrap is unique and, to the best of my knowlwdge, used only by Wiener and Jungwirth. The design is almost identical to a late 19th century Uhlmann design except the Uhlmann horns normally had a straight third valve tuning slide. The pic appears to be a modern professional photo and I would assume the horn is in like new condition unless it is being misrepresented. The description is also a puzzle. It is not the description I would expect from a horn player/collector for the audience that would be interested this horn. The folks who are interested in this horn probably don't need to know that "It works by increasing the slide length when the valve is pressed". I've bid on the horn but will procede with caution. Does anyone know who the seller is?
