Piston horn F and Eb crooks Early 20th C This is lovely, early 20th Century French piston horn from the time that Raoux had passed to Millereau, and subsequently his son-in-law, Schoenaars. This dates the horn from 1911- 1930, although we think it is possibly from the earlier part of this period. This horn has English W.Brown valves rather than the in-house Millereau ones. This horn comes with both F and Eb crooks. The body of the horn has a small number of patches all part of the long history of this instrument. If you d like to add this historic instrument to your collection, please get in t

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as WOODHEAD HORNS LIMITED, number 06959537. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
