| This horn is marked "Made in Italy" and
was no doubt made by Rampone and Cazzani, Milano.
It is an inexpensive student horn imported by a variety
of vendors for the public school market. It is a
"compensating" double horn. This means that the
upper and lower valve slides are combined together in
pairs to "compensate" the lengths for the F horn, while
for the Bb side only the upper rank of valve slides are
used. |
