These kind of horns are fun to play with. The ascending third has some advantage. Compared to other double horns, there is just one note missing: A-flat below low C. I played such a horn from 1974-1978.

It looks similar to the one Dennis Brain is pictured with on one of the Mozart Horn Concerto CDs he did. -William Hi William, If the horn is in F then it is his original Raoux. If it looks to be in Bb then it's probably the 1818 Raoux that he used for about two years after his original horn was disasterously converted to Bb. He later converted to an Alex Bb horn which was with him in the fatal car wreck. The above is from his biography by S. Pettitt.
