RAF 2751 - Vintage Brass Horn

Serial Number: RAF2715

Status: Display

Description:
This instrument is a type of old brass bugle, most likely a circular mellophone or alto tenor horn used as a substitute for the French horn in traditional bands. It features a round coiled brass body with three piston valves and produces a mid-range sound typical of marching and military brass ensembles. This type of instrument was commonly used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, especially in military and brass bands, making it a historical piece that reflects the evolution of brass musical instruments during that era.
