Hard to say, without examining the instrument, whether this horn was originally made in this form or whether later modifications resulted in it becoming a descant F horn. I am sure that some players in Vienna will have ideas about the history of this type of horn and the circumstances of its use (high horn Bach cantatas perhaps). Thanks for circulating the offer.

This one is announced as Wiener Horn, but it is not a single F, not even a single Bb, which uses the same mainframe as the F version only with shorter slides and a short straight leadpipe. This one is a descant f with Wiener Pumpen. Never saw this before.
