| Jeff Ohlmann jaohlma@zoho.com 952.200.8524 | Hans Hoyer single B-flat horn with stopping valve $2,000 | This is a Hans Hoyer single B-flat horn with stopping valve, acquired used from Pope Repair in 2023, s.n. 282527M. Model number is unclear but appears to be a 704 or equivalent and of comparatively recent vintage. It is in very good condition and was recently serviced and a water key added by Rogue Repair. This horn is a pleasure to play as the spiral air path makes it very smooth. A similar new instrument runs easily $1,000 more than this one. Comes with an older but serviceable hard case. |
| Matt Wilson mwhornblower@gmail.com | Lawson Double asking $8,000 OBO  | Made by Walter Lawson in his Boonsboro shop. This horn has an amazing high range and very consistent intonation. It has a nice warm sound but the lighter metal also gives it more flexibility in tone color. In very good shape with some lacquer wear. Comes with a Lawson Nickel Bronze bell unlacquered. It might not be the best for someone on the audition trail, but this is a wonderful horn. Perfect for any serious player. It is lighter metal than the original Fourier. Asking $8,000 or best offer.   |
| Eric Kodner emkodner@gmail.com 612.670.2539 | Lawson Double $8,750  | Lawson custom double French horn, Ambronze Fourier model. Serial number 889, formerly owned by Linda Patterson. Played extensively in Canadian and American orchestras. Buyer may contact Melanie Ditter at Rogue Repair (2570 7th Ave E, Suite B, St. Paul, 651.234.0890) for details on recent work. Kendall Betts praised this horn as one of Walter Lawson’s best custom horns in the 1980s. Priced at $8,750. VERY GOOD CONDITION. Steve Lewis leather case with zipper and mouthpiece pouch.   |
| Rowan Queathem queathem1@grinnell.edu 641.275.1586 | Elkhart N series Conn 8D – asking $4,000 | This instrument is a special find — I was VERY lucky to find this horn used around 2007-2008, and I played it for about 10 years and got so much joy out of it. It has a rich, dark, warm sound and plays beautifully. I just got it professionally cleaned and it’s in great condition, considering it was manufactured sometime between the 1930s and 1960s. I will also throw in a mouthpiece, leather hand grip, a well-padded hard case, and a mute. Please contact me if you’d like to try it out (text or email). Nickel silver, #N45252   |
| Paul Smith psonline@me.com 651.442.8590 | 1950’s Kruspe (Horner model) in top shape with excellent compression for sale – asking $3,900 if you’re a local buyer! | I am selling my lovely 1950’s Kruspe (Horner model) and would like to give our Twin Cities Horn Club members the first opportunity to buy it before I list it on the IHS site. I bought it from the original owner who purchased it in New York. This horn is in top shape with excellent compression. I’ve enjoyed how it produces a glorious rich sound especially in the lower register but is also able to sing brightly. I will be listing it for $5,500 on the IHS website but am hoping this fine horn will go a local hornist. A newer horn case is included. I can bring it to a TCHC rehearsal or get-together if you’d like to try it! |
