The Model 103 is the most famous horn worldwide, unique in tone quality and consistent intonation.
Reversible F/Bb or Bb/F, 12.1mm bore, 310mm bell flare, medium bell throat, medium body size, yellow brass body, red brass leadpipe, fully mechanical linkages, and fully independent Bb and F tuning slides.
Andrew Pelletier got this horn from Alexander as a test horn for the hand-hammered bell option which is why it doesn't have the stamp used later on the hammered instruments. Since then, the hand-hammered bell horns have become the premium version of the 103.
It was made around 2001 and has been kept very clean by both Andrew and myself. The valve compression is great and the normal lacquer wear has been repaired so it looks almost new again.
