Three Seated Artillerymen Musicians with Horns 1/6 plate daguerreotype of a trio all holding upright saxhorns. All seem to have berliner valves--the true saxhorns. Adolph Sax, father of the saxhorn, used berliner valves. The horns are very simple, and very open wrap. Very earlier versions of this type of horn. All four horns in the two images are soprano saxhorns--in other words, cornets in Eb and Bb. A rare image in a satchel style case. (Thank you to Mark Jones on the horn descriptions). This is a consignment which at one time was in my personal collection. An outstanding image.
