RE: [Hornlist] mystery horn

[Scott Hartman]

Hi Everyone,
I bought a third world horn last year on eBay for $160. It was a 
single Bb with a cut bell, a rather large plastic case and a piece of 
metal that resembled a horn mouthpiece.

What a great buy!
I have a daughter who is ten and plays the horn. If I go to a music 
shop, they want to charge me $1400 for an off brand single F horn. 
Rental is $50 per month.

The horn I bought plays reasonably well, probably as good as the 
$1400 horn. I know what you are thinking - the horn won't last, the 
valves are junk, etc. And you are right.

But if the horn plays for four months I have saved $50 over renting. 
If it lasts a year I will have saved a bundle. Even if I can't sell 
the thing when she moves up I will have saved money. And it will make 
a great lamp...

Peace to you all,
scottito
PS: I never buy anything on eBay unless I can return it for a full 
refund with no questions asked.

Seems to come from Pakistan or Brazil. I also watch this wave on Ebay.

A new one just walked into my office - an ebay deal I fear. Has
anyone heard of this one? 
A "Maxtone" by "French Engineers"
My first instinct is to say "send it back!"
thanks

Follow your first instinct...still yet another example, I fear, of an eBay 
special made in China.

The B and S factory in East Germany (the company that used to make Hoyers)
also made an Alex 103 copy .

OK, who is the actual manufacturer of an Alexander 103 copy marked
Besson 408?

Marking on the leadpipe says: "Made In Democratic Republic Of Germany."

That's East Germany before reunification, right?

Gebr. Alexander in those days was in West Germany, no?
