Bruno Lidl with "Acustic" on Bell - "Z" on middle Valve

Bruno Lidl French horn with unique middle valve and rotary valves. Carl Geyer designed a horn with a similar change valve, the large piston in the middle is activated by a rotary valve. It was supposed to be an improvement over the Schmidt, which used a regular piston valve. Interesting wrap of valves, possibly due to the variation of the Geyer design.
