Used Holton H-179 "Phil Farkas Model" Double French Horn in Solid Nickel Silver; serial #651509

 

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 lacquer. 

 

This one is a very clean H-179 that has never been school-owned, and has come to us in close to pristine original condition. 

 

A good player, not expensive!

 

Set includes: original case, Holton Farkas Mouthpiece
