| 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! |
