Detailed product description

Holton H179 Farkas Double French Horn (Silver) The solid nickel silver edition of the H178, the Holton model H179 French Horn 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. Specifications: • Key: F-Bb • Pitch: A445 with independent Bb tuning • Bore: 11.89 mm (.468") • Mouthpipe: .310 venturi of nickel silver • Lever action: Noiseless string action, short stroke with stainless steel springs • Valve rotors: Tapered hand-lapped brass • Bearing plates: Tapered brass Branches, bows and ferrules: Nickel silver • Slides: Both inside and out are solid nickel silver • Bell: 12.25" diameter large-throated hand-hammered nickel silver • Waterkey: On mouthpipe • Options: Extra-long main and Bb tuning slides, detachable bell and flat case available as model H279
