Willy Köstler (<1946)

About the maker:

This is a forward Alto Horn in Eb, made by Willy Köstler in Graslitz, Böhmen. The name in German suggests that this instrument was made before 1946, when Graslitz became Kraslice.
This instrument is in good condition, after I pulled the mouthpiece out; it was a bad fit and got really jammed in there.
With another mouthpiece, it does play quite well, but there are some intonation issues (as seems to be the case with all horns of this type that I own).
