@@HoughtonHorns I have one that was given to me about 10 years ago. I don't know much about it except the factory in Milan, Italy closed back in 2004 and they didn't make a lot of these double horns. They are good, solid instruments but didn't receive the notoriety they deserved. Maybe I should contact Antiques Roadshow.
Based in Milan (Italy) near where I live, they produced various different horns during 20th century. They were not exceptional, but definitely valuable instruments, which perfectly suited the pre-globalization musical world in which they were made. In the last years they were famous especially for the studio models: the compensating "Conservatorio" and "KAB 9", but at the end, Yamaha took all the market with the 567 full double.
Ugh - so jealous! Definitely a premium horn!
What do you know about Kalison Milano horns? I was told they are modeled after the Lewis horn.
I have never heard of that Make/Model of horn before. And after spending decades in the business I thought I had heard of everything!
