Your Langwill may be newer than mine. I have been seeking information
about Enders for several years. I played a gig a few years ago where
one of the players was German and was excited by my Enders horn. He
seemed knowledgeable, but that would be subject to verification.
He had seen Enders horns through the twenties, but he belived by that
time Max wasn't very active but the shop name persisted. However, from
the level of ornate, intricate detail on my horn, and the fact that the
rotors were all different sizes, he concluded this horn likely was made
by Max, possibly to cover Kruspes introduction of their double in the
1890's. John Erikson's web site article implies that the double horn
may have existed earlier. I'll try to get some pictures of it so you
can see how ancient the design appears. I would imagine there would be
more information available. Do you know of any Enders catalog that
might identify the model, or even identify other horns Enders made for
comparison?

As I own a tenor horn that has - M. Enders Mainz 1934 Nr.1 - engraved
on the garland, and the Langwill Index 6th Edition cites Enders
advertising his trombones in Die Musikwoche in 1935, I'd be interested
to know your source for the above.
