Looks very much like a Hohner, apart from the absence of the Hohner name.

If it is a Hohner, will it be any good? Just curious as I might bid for it.

I have a Hohner C: it has a very nice sound but is quiet and clogs v. easily. This one may only look like a Hohner, though. At 24cm long it would indeed appear to be a high F. I’m curious - might be very sweet, might be awful. If I were in the UK or could be bothered with Ebay I’d probably bid a few quid. But I’m not, and I can’t.

PS The Hohner is not brass, but steel of some kind. It would be interesting to know what the fipple plug on this one is made - might be lead.
