FS: Yorkbrunner SOLD
Posted: Wed Mar 25, 2026 10:00 pm
Hello, for sale is my mid-80s (1984) Hirsbrunnner-50.
This is one of the best handmade CCs I’ve ever played and is a mighty fine example of a Yorkbrunner. This might be the same instrument that Tony Kniffen used to win Indianapolis (correct me if I’m wrong) and what Chris Hall (USAF) used to win his Air Force audition– another past owner was also Matt Gaunt.
This instrument has been modified over the years and has only shown more upside.
As listed…
The condition is what you would expect an old horn would be. Some silver loss and a couple of pings, nothing so bad. And it absolutely doesn’t affect the sound :teeth:
I don’t have the original valves, but I don’t think I’d ever use them seeing how the MAW valves practically mitigated the infamous intonation quirks that Hirsbrunner usually has.
The horn would come with a cronkhite gig bag.

I am looking for a straight sale of $17,000 but I may consider a trade for an 5 valve Alex CC + cash or a MW Baer
Located in Northern New Jersey, no shipping at this time. Feel free to PM me or email me at docacc2370@gmail.com
