Furst-Pless Post Horn c.1915
This is a typical post horn
configuration which can be seen depicted in the logos of postal
authorities throughout Europe. This horn, in Bb, was made by
Furst-Pless of Germany and is in raw brass. These posthorns
are usually wrapped in green leather. The lower photo is of a
modern Furst Pless-Horn. Post horns - in
different sizes and keys - are still played today in brass choirs in
villages
along the Rhein River. Mozart wrote a short piece featuring the
post horn.
