| This horn is possibly by Guichard of Paris. A clavicor by Guichard with very similar chinoiserie bell design is found in the Musée de la Cité de la Musique, Paris. Another horn with a similar bell design is in the collection of Martin Prowse. Based upon similarities of workmanship to marked instruments, that horn as well as this one is also believed to be by Guichard. | ||
