AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Ancient Swiss baritone Hirsbrunner & Sohn, made in Sumiswald, probably around 1920–1930.
Brass instrument with light metal fittings, equipped with 3 rotary paddle valves. Old Swiss marching-band model, now interesting for both a musician and a collector of antique instruments.
The instrument is generally in good condition for its age. It shows a natural patina, signs of use, and a few small marks or dents related to its age. The mechanics are complete.
It has been tested and works very well. According to the former owner, it was regularly serviced and still played.
Approximate dimensions:
* Overall height: about 75 to 85 cm
* Maximum width: about 35 to 40 cm
* Bell diameter: about 25 to 30 cm
* Thickness: about 20 to 25 cm
* Estimated weight: about 5 to 7 kg
For shipping, I would provide a carton of at least 95 × 50 × 40 cm, with plenty of protection around the bell and the mechanics.
Antique, authentic, and decorative instrument, but above all still usable.
