Paxman 25L Merriwether System Double French Horn (F/Bb)

The Paxman 25L Merriwether System is a professional double French horn in F/Bb built for players who need a dependable, audition-ready instrument with modern response and classic Paxman craftsmanship. Known for decades of handmade horn building, Paxman instruments are widely chosen by orchestral and studio professionals for their consistency and tonal control. This 25L’s solid yellow brass construction supports a clear, efficient voice with the ability to hold exquisitely controlled pianissimos. It has been recently cleaned and set up by our brass technician, so it’s ready for immediate performance use.

For players comparing pro-level double horns, the 25L delivers a balanced mix of projection and refinement: a centered tone that carries in the hall, quick response for technical passages, and stable slotting across registers when moving between the F and Bb sides. The lacquer finish offers a traditional feel, with honest wear from normal playing rather than abuse. Paxman’s build quality emphasizes reliability under daily rehearsal schedules and demanding repertoire, making this a strong choice for orchestral work, chamber music, pit playing, and advanced conservatory study. Ideal for serious students, working professionals, and returning players upgrading to a handmade British double horn platform.
