12. * “Baby” – Another personal horn that was my grandfather’s curved soprano with double octave key from the 1920’s. Despite its lack of identification, most unusual horn in the shop. Probably a Paris made Buffet. No model name, no maker name or mark, and finally no serial number!!! In excellent original lacquer! Unplayable in need of an overhaul which I will give it one day. Naturally never for sale!! If I’m down to my last horn this is it! ha ha
