    That is not odd at all. A spade or a shovel both dig holes, no difference. And calling a spading fork a spade is similar to calling any brass instrument a horn, or even trumpet as many people do...

    Yes, my horn has a threaded Leadpipe into which you can screw one of three receiver bits. The mouthpiece then goes into the bit.

    Not sure yet what this is

    A few days ago, I received a new horn for my collection. It was advertised as "Flughel" and nothing more. I was intrigued by the large bell, hoping it was a Solo Alto Horn. When I got it, I found out...

    But if you can post a picture, someone might recognize the valve guide.

    In case of the Hüller, it is named "C- oder B-Althorn" in their catalogue (No. 1957), although I am not entirely sure as it could also be a "C- oder B-Bassflügelhorn" (No. 1971). I don't really see...

    I own a French Horn by John Packer and it has a leadpipe "designed by Michael Rath", so it seems they indeed do some design of their own instead of just making stencils.

    Later, you get a good view from above.
