Used Holton H179 Farkas Series Double French Horn

This free-blowing horn features a rich, dark sound designed especially for the “big horn” artist. The Holton H179 has especially good center and projection. 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.

This instrument is used and in good condition with some cosmetic wear and scratches on the finish.
