A. Lecomte & Cie. (<1890)
About the maker:
This is an Ophicleide in C with 10 keys, by A. Lecomte & Cie, Paris. It was most likely made between 1875 - 1890.
There were some dents and leaks, but after repairs it does play again. However, it seems to be High Pitch, so to be able to play in modern pitch I have to pull the bocal out as far as possible, which affects intonation in a very negative way. The sound is very nice.
