This is a wine-red handguard (protector) for a horn, made from approximately 1.0mm thick genuine leather. The thread will be brown. It uses Velcro for easy attachment and removal. The back of the handguard is water-repellent treated. It is designed to fit instruments where the mouthpipe curves near the little finger hook or below it (similar to the Arter B type). It can be attached to current Yamaha models, Alexander 1103, 503, and others. Handguards for Alexander 103 are also available. This item is made to order, so please refrain from requesting a discount.
