SOLD: MW 195 Fafner w/bag and flight case

Post by joshwirt »

I am selling my incredible MW 195 Fafner with Cronkite bag and MW flight case.

This horn is the real deal. I’ve used it with brass ensembles and orchestras and it never ceases to amaze. The horn has a fantastic sound with sooooo much mass. Great pitch and even blow. I pull 1+4 to fine tune in lower register with ease. Fast valves with short throw. The high register is shockingly great for a 5/4 BBb….can be surprisingly nimble if needed. Only modifications were replacing stick water key with Saturn and moving so you can empty with horn upright and a Carol Brass Amado-style key on the lower 4th slide…bigger opening and easier to clean (no snap ring).

Need a horn for Mahler, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Wagner?! This is it. It’s been tested on the job and excels at all of those and more.

Horn is located in Chicago but might go with me to VA. I won’t be able to fit the flight case but if we meet on East Coast and you buy, I’ll ship it to you on my dime.

Thanks,
Josh
