 old hybrid horn
Author: marcus

I have a Bb albert/boehm hybrid that is old enough to barely see the manufacturer's name. It was built in Napoli with 'Majorano' writen in the logo. The logo is almost an exact copy of Buffet's. The key-work is very interesting, or lack there of. All three tone holes of the top joint and the first hole of the bottom joint have no keys. Great for slides and glissandi.
It has a wooden mouthpiece with metal facing. The maker is Giushe(?) E Posito of Napoli.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank-you

Sounds very interesting. I would think the last name would be 'Esposito' — a common name in Naples. The first would be a variation on Giuseppe, but I'm not familiar with it, the more common shortening would be 'Gesue`', or similar. 'Giusi', for example, is a shortening of 'Giuseppina', so 'Giushe' could be a possiblity, and therefore what you see written.

"The New Langwill Index" has listings:

Majorano, fratelli WWI, BI fl Naploli -1914-
... 1926 listed as 'Gennaro Majorano'...

and

Esposito, Giosue WWI fl Napoli late 19c
...
