I have worked on a couple of these horns, and the description in the listing is pure boojois, as Molly Ivens used to say. Selmer never made horns until the...
As I understand it, the "true" Bach horn never existed beyond a couple of prototypes. I don't think any of the horns that have been marketed carrying the Bach...

Richard: I'm assuming you mean a horn that we'd recognize as variant of one of the standard horn wraps, ie Geyer/Knopf or Kruspe. Selmer has (did?) produced...

Richard, How do you account for the older style case and shipping labels? I doubt this horn dates to the 1920's as they claim, but I can't see that case being...

The Selmer/Bach Horn came out in the 70's. It was a Kruspe wrape and could be had in either brass or nickel silver. It was like some Conn 8D's or Reynolds...
Eric: Thanks for helping refresh my memory. All of these horns were "developed", if that's the right word, after Vincent Bach sold the company to Selmer, et...

Looking for some opinions on the Patterson Hornworks Hoyer Hybrid horns. I tried both a stock 6801 and a patterson 6801. The stock hoyer was brand new and...
The Patterson Hoyer hybrid has one of Jim's mouthpipes on it. I expect that is why you experienced the "out of breath" a little quicker--it has less...

I have a Hoyer 7801NS with a Moosewood mouthpiece and absolutely love it. It and the horn I had for 30 years prior aren't in the same league (Yamaha YHR662)....

In 1963 San Angelo, TX I got stuck with playing a Selmer Geyer wrap. Somebody donated a brand new one to the school and since I was first horn I got the...
I've not had a chance to try a hybrid, but at IHS MW last year I was able to try most of Hoyer's line. I was extremely impressed with their brass 7801 (or is...
