This Mollenhauer full-automatic English horn (cor anglais) brings a deep, resonant voice to any woodwind section. Full-automatic instruments like this one are prized for keeping the high register rich rather than thin, paired with a low end powerful enough to cut through large orchestras and wind bands; the kind of color that suits Mahler, Wagner, and R. Strauss especially well.
This pre-owned horn shows minor scratches and wear from previous use. It comes with a Japanese-made SIEZ brass bocal. The lower joint's banana key has been temporarily removed for shipping, but it will be safely packed and included. You can keep the original Mollenhauer case as-is (no cover), or request a free swap to a brand-new, unbranded case and cover set instead.
This complete outfit also includes a generous double-reed accessory package: 68 reed tubes (48 Pisoni, 10 Murata, 10 Rieger), ten finished reeds (five new JDR-W reeds and five custom-made reeds), a Ton Kooiman Etude-model thumb rest, and reed cases. Pre-owned full-automatic English horns rarely come up for sale, making this bundle a rare find for double-reed players looking to expand their lineup.
