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 was owned by Tony Kniffen, Chris Hall (USAF), and 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
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 firm with $16,000, but I am considering trades + cash.
Located in Northern New Jersey, shipping may be possible, but buyer must cover and assume the risks.
Feel free to PM me or email me at docacc2370@gmail.com
