Some interesting facts.

ENGLISH POST HORN – COPPER AND BRASS

 

 93CM (36”)  – KEY HIGH F

 

The English post horn can be simple straight or coiled brass or copper small wind instrument with cupped mouthpiece. This was used especially by guards of mail coaches of the 18th and 19th centuries , and was originally used to announce mail coaches.

The post horn came in two varieties -  first was a straight copper "coach horn," either forty-six inches long (in C) or thirty-six inches long (in high F). It was sometimes built in three telescoping sections.

The second was a brass "post horn," either twenty-eight inches long (built in two sections) or thirty-six inches long .

The post horn is usually coiled copper or brass, rarely straight. It has no valves or slide.
