Horniman wind instruments, p.4<br />

p.94 continued<br />

Fanfare Trumpet, Carse 249A, see fig.71. C'arse thought this pair<br />

was by Kohler.<br />

it and a modem mouthpiece.<br />

Slide Trunpet, Kohler, Corse 147. The Perinet valve was added<br />

later. There is a full set of crooks, F-C, and two tuning<br />

bits.<br />

Slide Trumpet, Wyatt. According to Carse, this was made in 1890<br />

(not reconstructed) and was exhibited at the Royal Aquarium<br />

Exhibition in 1892.<br />

Slide Trumpet, Kohler, Carse 71» According to Carse is a Harper's<br />

Improved, and it has a full set of crooks etc. in its<br />

originai box. The mouthpiece is certainly a Harper.<br />

Trombone, Nagel. I am not convinced that this is a reconstruction.<br />

Tubular stays do not justify this description. The beli<br />

of thi3 instrument is rotting to the o.tent that it is<br />

only the coating of lacquer (very thick, like ali the<br />

brass instruments in the Horniman) that is holding it<br />

together. The great puzzle about thic instrument is the<br />

mouthpiece that can be seen in it in ali Carse's illustrations<br />

but that has now vanished; it does not seem to<br />

have been with the instrument when it arrived at the Horniman<br />

in 1947* Is so extraordinary a mouthpiece authentic,<br />

or was it a figment of Carse's imagination?<br />

Trombone, Ricchi. The'part of means that there is only the<br />

beli joint.<br />

Trombone, Bernareggi, see back cover.<br />

Trombone, Keat, see fig.75<br />

Valve Trombone, besson(?) (the registre is marked Besson Breveté),<br />

see fig.77• Th effect of the registre is to lower the<br />

pitch by a 4th.<br />

Valve Trombone, Perdo. Roth, see fig.92<br />

p.96 Bimbonifono. This Carse clansed as a valved bugie, but valve<br />

trombone is more accurate, lt has 5 whole tone and one<br />

semitone decending valves, and one uscenJing semitone valve.<br />

p.97 Hunting Horn, Bull. In fiat pitch F (between E and F modem).<br />

It has its originai ivory mouthpiece.<br />

Horn, Carse 254. In E fiat. RMP said c.1705 English.<br />

Horn, Carse 296. Sharp pitch - produces E with an E fiat crook.<br />

Horn, Startzer. Accoraing to Carse it ha3 the date 1770 on it,<br />

and there are no crooks.<br />

Horn, marked Raoux, Carse 209. According to RMP the crook is not<br />

originai, it is probably not by Raoux, and if it is a<br />

Raoux it is Lueien-Joseph, see fig.60<br />

Horn, Raoux, Carse 166, see fig.81. Cor solo by Lucien-Joceph<br />

Raoux.<br />

Horn, Carse 122. The attribution to Jahn is from RMP, about the<br />

only one of his commenta that has got through.
