Natural Trumpet
Anton Kerner Austrian
Silver, in places gold wash. It bears an oval plaque with the coat of arms of the Electors of Saxony. The trumpet follows the style of the Haas-trumpets, probably so as to match the other instruments of the original ensemble to which it belonged. Decorative details, however, show Viennese features: the Hapsburg double eagle, armor, weapons, banners, et cetera. The red-yellow cord and mouthpiece are not original.
