The design of the JP263 Rath B/F compensating French Horn is geared towards the progressing player looking for a lighter weight French Horn with access to both the Bb and F sides of the instrument.  Michael Rath is highly regarded for his trombone designs, but what is less well known is that he spent ten years working with Paxman’s making French Horns.

Wear & Tear Observations: This French horn is a new instrument that has suffered from transit damage.  The bell flare has taken a knock that is mostly visible from the inside of the bell flare and can be felt to the touch.  Other than this the horn is like new, these things are purely cosmetic and don't effect the playability of the instrument.

• Constructed from high grade 80:20 brass throughout
• Exclusive Rath design leadpipe
• Includes a compensating system allowing access to both Bb and F sides of the instrument
• Mechanical (ball & socket) linkage and neoprene valve bumpers, usually reserved for more expensive French Horns
• Reversible Bb/F lever for those who prefer the horn to stand in Bb rather than F

This JP263 is supplied in a hard and sturdy case, it includes a silverplated John Packer mouthpiece but no other accessories.
