Re: [Hornlist] Schmidt Advice Needed...

[Bob Osmun]

If I'm not mistaken, this looks like one those Italian made stencil horns 
imported for Carl Fischer. The 3rd valve wrap on the F side is a dead give 
away, in addition to the socket braces on the bell. These horns often have 
nickel plated mechanical levers, machined mouthpiece receivers, and VERY 
HEAVY bells. If you would like an affordable "Schmidt" style horn, then it 
seams to me to be priced about right. It certainly is not a genuine C.F. 
Schmidt.
