Olds Alto Horn in Eb and F   c.1964
This beautiful little "peck" horn has a wonderfully centered tone and with  separate tuning crooks it can play in either Eb or F - making it an especially versatile instrument. It is satin finished with a polished bell.  The horn served yeoman duty with the Bangkok Brass in 1990-1995 when we used it as a substitute as needed for a F French horn and sometimes for the trombone part plying in Eb and reading the Bass Clef part (with a little jiggering of the key signiture!).  Inscribed on bell:
