Schmidt FS179N French Horn. This instrument is in excellent condition, with no major scratches or dents. It has a gorgeous silver finish that will keep you in awe. I purchased this horn right before going to college to play in the band there. It is a professional-grade horn and would fit a high school or college-level player ideally. I only used this instrument for 2 seasons (which is only a few months out of the year since we used melophones to march with) and was put away in a closet at my parent's house for a year. It has been recently cleaned and is in excellent working condition. It comes with a black, plastic case with carrying shoulder strap, 2 mouthpieces, and a cleaning kit. Thanks and happy bidding! List price for this instrument is $4395.00. F/Bb, “Concert” model double horn, Kruspe valve style, large bell flair, string mechanism, nickel silver with clear lacquer w/ case (made in Germany) F.
