The Wessex 'Luzern' appears to be a clone of the swiss made Hirsbrunner 192 - http://www.hirsbrunner.com/lang/engl/in ... index.html.
It has some modifications (different brass type in the bell, 5th valve) that make it different to a degree.

I played this horn when testing some Wessex models before I bought my Michigan (Miraphone clone). It sounds great and plays nice. If you are considering a horn, this is a good choice.

Just make sure its not too big. That is my mistake, which is why my Michigan is now up for trade. *oops*

I haven't played them. But if they are even 1/50 as good as my Hirsbrunner... They must be pretty darn good.
