That's exactly the horn I meant. I know that I cannnot play the solo on a "natural" posthorn.Did not know the german name though..I saw few of these in the spada shop..Socially redeeming??? I am not a posthorn religious freak
But would not mine having one of these...I'll wait though till I am asked to play the posthorn often enough to justify such a purchase...
