[Hornlist] RE: Max Enders

[MUMFORDHornworks]

A number of horn makers used hollow rotors back in the early 20th century.  
I see that Max Enders was in Mainz and I was going to mention that another 
Mainz maker with hollow rotors was Alexander (back in the good old days).  A 
good chance they used the same supplier for valves?  The change rotor on 
Kruspes was hollow but the other 3 were solid.  More recently Paxman offered 
hollow rotors and some Yamahas have them.  Hollow rotors usually have some kind 
of little vent hole so the pressure can relieve as the ports are being brazed 
in place.  You have to be careful not to get water or even less desireable 
liquids inside there, they'll do inconvenient things later on!

I'm guessing at the age, but the horn was made by Max Enders, who was
not building much after the first decade of the 1900's. (Bill Bamberg)


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.

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?
