Horns The design of these OTS 1860's (Civil War Era) instruments are very unique, and their production was short lived. OTS horns were primarily used by the military for marching purposes. Bands led, and motivated, troops on long troop movements during the 1860's. These instruments proved to be not very practical during concerts and were quickly replaced with "bell up" and "bell forward" instruments.

Wanted I am always seeking 19th century brass wind instruments for my collection, and for the Fort Point Garrison Brass Band (www.FortPointBrassBand.org). Please contact me if you think that you have an instrument that might be of interest to me. |
