About Us & Everything Paxman

The Paxman Showroom

The London centre of Paxman's activities has moved over the years from the early days in Gerrard Street, via a long period in Covent Garden, to the present premises in 197 Long Lane, south of London Bridge station. The light and airy showroom - the only establishment in England dedicated solely to horn players - holds an enormous range of new and second hand French Horns of various makes. Horn Accessories and a large collection of Sheet Music, Books, CDs and DVDs are also on sale.

Repairs

For as long as there has been a Paxman shop in London there has been an unrivalled on-site repair facility. From Monday to Thursday advice is always available, and if work load allows it is often possible to obtain an on-the-spot repair.

Horn Production

For many years, Paxman horns were built outside London, the most recent location for the Paxman factory being Staplehurst in Kent. In September 2012, in order to streamline the whole production process, horn assembly was moved up to the current premises in London. All Paxman professional horns are now built, tested and set up in London, by John Turner and his team of craftsmen. We believe that this arrangement better enables us to maintain the high standards of craftsmanship which are fundamental to the outstanding reputation of Paxman instruments throughout the world.
