Meister Hans Hoyer Heritage 6802NSA Double Horn with Detachable Bell Used
$4,850.00
Item Details
This is a lightly used double French horn in all nickel made by B&S in Markneukirchen, Germany. This Hans Hoyer Heritage model is made in the classic Kruspe design with the offset change valve. Similar models from other makers include the Conn 8DS and Yamaha 668ND.
The Kruspe design has its more resistant tight valveset bends offset by a more open large bell throat. In addition, the F extension is divided into two loops: one on each side of the rotor set. Alexander 103 horns work like that. (Physicists everywhere rejoice.) The nickel construction gives a clearer, more immediate response, easier to flare but less warmth than a brass horn. You'll be well heard.

Condition
This horn is in spectacular condition. Lacquer is 100%, rotors are tight, linkages are silent, it's clean inside and well cared for. The only blemishes are a small mark near the bell rim, and some small dings near the finger hook where everyone bumps into the music stand. Sigh.
Sold with Protec or Bonna case or a la carte.
