Well I've had a number of old Italian horns through here, here's another!
This is an Evette & Schaeffer which was Buffets "student" line. Originally these were made by Malerne in France but at some point production moved to Italy, by Santoni. This is one of the Santoni made horns.
These are rock solid! The keywork isn't on a pro level by any means but its certainly well made and the horn plays great. Honestly these have a great sound. I read somewhere that until the Japanese market took over these were the "go to" horns around Europe in the 70's and 80's. I believe it!
This particular horn has major lacquer loss and lotsa brass patina. I think it looks lovely.
This is another horn in the "bang for your buck" category, they can be had cheap and play much better than alot of stuff out there.
