Description: | This is a rare example of Brod's 'cor anglais moderne', the first straight model cor anglais. Henri Brod was a celebrated player and instrument maker. He was the first to extend the compass of the cor anglais down to B flat.
Cor anglais, English horn. Staight model. Maple with nickel silver ferrules and keys. Twelve keys including tilting E/C touchpiece and patent half-hole plate. Three joints: upper joint, lower joint and bulbous bell. Keys on bell operated by shanks/touchpieces on lower joint. Crook missing. Lower joint and bell stamped: 'Brod'. Two paper labels attached to upper joint, one with the number '70' (possibly an old catalogue number). The other, which is in D. J. Blaikley's hand, reads: '80 COR ANGLAIS/MAPLEWOOD./19C'.
