Used Holton H-177 "Phil Farkas Model" Double French Horn in Solid Nickel-Silver; serial #632220
 
Holton horns offer an alternative in design that creates a great experience for the young or advanced players. This Farkas model offers independent tuning for convenience allowing the player to tune the Bb side of the horn separately from the F side.
 
The versatile Model H177 offers a compact feel and bright sound. It includes a hand-fitted rotary valve system, string linkage, separate Bb tuning slide, and a change lever designed to fit the thumb in a natural position. Made of extremely corrosion-resistant nickel silver.
 
Key of Bb/F double. 46″ bore; 12-1/4″ medium-throated, hand-hammered, nickel silver bell; .310″ venturi of nickel silver; tapered hand-lapped brass valve rotors; nickel silver branches, bows, and ferrules; solid nickel silver slides.
 
The original valves on this horn are still tight, with 99% of original lacquer to the body and slides. 
 
This one is an honest H-177 that has come to us in close to pristine original condition. 
 
Good player, not expensive! 
 
Set includes: Case, Holton Farkas Mouthpiece
