Holton H179 Farkas Double French Horn Nickel Silver w/Case - Used

Type: Used
Condition: Excellent

Great Horn. Farkas model with a .468" Bore and a 12.25-inch Fixed Large throat Bell. Beautiful Nickel/Silver finish in original case.

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.
