Hmmm yeassh, someone informed me these are MUNSTURZ so I picked up a "Hohner" on the 'bay, appears to be identical in construction to yours, RTH with the Zephyresque guards and double-sleeve neck receiver, just doesn't say "President" on it, has 2-3 extra keys, including high F#. Mine needs a complete repad (leaks all over, pads seem original), but I can tell it's a very solidly built horn -- as good as a Kohlert. Posts look identical to those used on Kohlerts, too, hmmm. I thought the one I bought would be lacquer but it appears it's an aging (yellowing) clear lacquer over silver or nickel plating because the bore inside is plated as well.
Hohner President who has owned one?
I just bought a silver plated Hohner president. It has not made it here et, but man they look like a very solid horn. I just hope it has the pompous Keilwerth sound that my sx90r makes. Anyone care to add their 2 cents or more. I am just curious about other peoples experiences.

On a Hohner, the high F# is an extra LH palm key.paulio said:That is interesting, are you sure it has an F sharp key? Mine has an alternate D key in the position you would normally find the F sharp. Yours does have an extra key betwen the bottom stack F and E keys, looks like a G sharp trill.
