Natural Horn - Cape of Good Hope Finale - Available until June

This item will be listed until the end of June due to circumstances. It is uncertain whether it will be relisted. It is first come, first served as the price has been reduced.

This is a rare natural horn from Cape of Good Hope, known only to those in the know. The manufacturer no longer exists, making this a scarce item.

I also own an Irschick natural horn, and this one plays just as well. I believe it offers excellent value for money and I confidently recommend it.

I purchased this horn for a performance that required two natural horns. It has served its purpose and is now being sold.

The crooks included are E♭, G, D, F, and A (5 in total). While not a full set, it includes the essential crooks for practical use, making it ideal for beginners or as a secondary instrument.

There are no dents. There is some lacquer peeling on the body (see image 6) and paint peeling on the inside of the bell (see image 2).
Each crook comes with a cover (see image 4).

A semi-hard case is included, but the zipper is broken and does not close. It is temporarily secured with Velcro on the top (see image 7). Therefore, some care is needed when transporting it. It also comes with backpack straps, but their use is not recommended.

The inside of the case has a slight smell of cigarettes. I am a non-smoker, so I may be sensitive to it, but I did not particularly notice it during playing. It is likely that the previous owner was a smoker.

I have played many natural horns before, and I believe this is a well-made instrument.
I purchased it on Mercari, and I find it difficult to price it higher than my purchase price, so I believe the price is reasonable. Shipping costs are also considerable, so I would appreciate it if you could refrain from further price reductions.
