Weril GG 282

A friend of mine acquired this horn. Can anyone offer some insight on this brand and particular model?

Weril is in Brazil. The GG series was their flagship line a few years back (I don't see it on their website now), reportedly designed with input from Gilberto Gagliardi (the ITF "under 18" solo competition is named in his honor).

Werils have never been common here in the US (at least under that name - there are reports of Weril stencils being sold under various names). Never played one myself. They're somehow associated with Nirschl now; I see some trombones under the Weril name and others under the "Weingrill and Nirschl" name.

Thanks John.
