Used Holton H-179 Double French Horn in Solid Nickel-Silver, Made in the USA; serial #703569
 
Holton horns offer an alternative in design that creates a great experience for the young or advanced players. The Farkas wrap offers independent tuning for convenience allowing the player to tune the Bb side of the horn separately from the F side.
 
The H179 has especially good center and projection. This free-blowing horn features a rich, dark sound designed especially for the “big horn” artist; the tapered tubing and throat of the bell are larger for a bigger, darker tone. The bell flare produces a mellow, velvety tone plus a little overtone of a ringing quality. Hard nickel silver responds quickly and sounds brighter up close. The most popular Farkas model.
 
The original valves on this horn are still tight, with 99% of original epoxy lacquer. 
Never any wrinkles and minor dings have been burnished out by our shop. 
Set includes: original case, Holton Farkas Mouthpiece
Street price on a new one is $6,199.00, this is a best buy at $3,850.00
