Description

This Buffet Crampon wood English Horn is in very nice shape! It has 90%+ of the original key plating remaining with a good polish.  There look to be a couple of small repairs done near the top of the bell on the back side and there is a small crack that goes from the top of the bell down to the tone hole.  On each of the pieces, someone had previously etched in some letters and numbers. It looks like they were buffed out as well as they could be and you can still see signs that they were there.  Please see the pictures for details.  The serial number on the English Horn is “4944”.  Engraved on the bell and upper body joint is “Buffet Crampon & Cie A Paris” with a lyre above the engraving and the BC logo below it. One good used bocal is included.  It comes in a good used condition case. This English Horn plays very well with a beautiful tone!
