| My "BRASSED OFF" Flugel Horn possibly for sale. Hi folks. Well, an interesting idea was presented to me the other day. I was asked if I wanted to sell my flugel horn which is the same as the one used in brassed off. It is a Hawkes & Son, Excelsior Sonorous, Silver flugel horn with flowers engraved on the bell section. Well, my delema. Whats it worth?? I have looked on ebay, and of course, nothing like it has been sold lately. And being a rare puppy, they probably dont come on very often. Now one big point I must make about my flugel. Its a wall hanger. The first valve is not original....so alas...it doesnt play at the moment. But I had grandious plans of having a valve made in the future. But besides that...its all there. So what do you reckon this baby is worth. Or should I say...what would you guys be prepared to pay for it? Ive had emails in the past asking if I wanted to sell the flugel. Well folks, maybe now is your chance to own a bit of British Brass Band History. (Its not the exact horn used in the movie....just identical.)
Any thoughts and opinions would be cheerfully accepted. |
