Description: | A tenor horn made from brass plated with silver. This instrument was made at the Boosey & Co. factory at Frederick Mews, Stanhope Place, Marble Arch and would have been aimed at the brass band market. The tenor horn is one of the inner-part instruments in the brass band and, despite its name, plays in the alto range between the cornets and the baritones and euphoniums. Brass bands were popular throughout the 20th century among amateur players from all social classes. This was facilitated by the mass production techniques developed by companies such as Boosey, which ensured that the instruments required by bands could be sold at affordable prices. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Horniman Museum and Gardens | Rights holder: | Horniman Museum, London | Subjects: | work Leisure | Temporal: | 1930 | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
