Frank, an accomplished trombonist, started his business by selling his own proprietary slide oil, which then evolved into the production of brass instruments. After moving his factory to Elkhorn, Wisconsin, in 1917, Frank Holton & Company continued to produce high-end brass instruments, and then later expanded into student-level horns. Upon retiring, Frank sold the company to employee William Kull. The company was later acquired by Leblanc, then by Conn-Selmer in 2004, which continues Holton's tradition of creating outstanding brass instruments and accessories.Holton H179 French Horn Features: Farkas-style F/Bb French horn for top-level chamber, solo, and orchestral applications Nickel-silver leadpipe offers a free-blowing feel .468-inch bore delivers that elusive centered tone Kruspe wrap delivers an open, dark sound with a rock-solid tonal center Tapered, hand-lapped brass valve rotors ensure a snug fit and tight seal between the valves and casing String linkage yields effortless playability and ultra-quiet operation 12.25-inch, large-throat nickel-silver bell exhibits a subtle response and muscular projection Unlacquered finish gives the horn a stunning vintage appearance Includes a case and a Farkas Medium Deep Cup mouthpiece SpecificationDetail Type Double French Horn Level Professional Key F/Bb Finish Unlacquered Body Material Nickel Silver Bell Material Nickel Silver Bell Size 12.25" Bell Type Fixed Bore .468" Wrap Kruspe Throat Large Valves Tapered Rotors Mouthpiece Holton-Farkas, Medium Deep Cup RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
