This Alexander 103 is quite a nice playing horn. It has the sweet, bright, powerful Alexander sound, and is quite easy to play. Alexander 103 horns (commonly known as the Alex 103) are extremely popular worldwide, certainly one of the most played truly professional horns today.
This particular horn is in great used shape. According to the current owner who is consigning this horn with me, this horn was owned and played by the Korean horn player Young-Yul Kim. This horn has a hand hammered, cut bell, and is unlacquered. The horn did come to me quite tarnished. Of course I did my best to clean this cosmetic problem up, but for some reason the bell flare looks al little spotty. With time, this should patina over and look just like the rest of the horn.
The valves on this horn have great compression, and all the slides work as intended. The screw bell goes on and off with ease. This is quite a great horn!
No case comes with this horn. I have reduced the price a small amount because of this. Here is one case I can recommend as a good fit for this horn. Of course this horn will be very carefully packed for shipping. Also no mouthpiece comes with this horn.
This horn requires a European shank mouthpiece.
Feel free to contact me with any questions you have!
