Here is a vintage (serial number 610925 ) Holton H-379 Double French Horn. This is a solid nickel silver Kruspe wrap symphonic double horn--these horns are nearly completely identical to the H-179 "Farkas" model. It is in very good condition, and plays very well. The valves move well with excellent compression and the slides all move of course.
As for the aesthetic condition of this horn, there are a few very small dings and pings as well as some isolated areas of light pitting, etching, and scratching. There are a few small rimples in the bell rim. The bell engraving reads: “HOLTON/ ELKHORN. WI.” The leadpipe has “H379” stamped on the mouthpiece receiver.
The imperfections are visible in the pictures, and none of them affect the playability of the horn. This instrument has been professionally cleaned in our shop, and repaired to full playability. This horn is not lacquered; therefore fingerprints should be wiped off after use if the player wishes for the horn to stay as shiny as it is now; if they are not wiped off then the horn will develop a lovely patina. This instrument comes with a somewhat worn hardshell case, and a mouthpiece in good condition.
How the horn plays: Full, dark and round sound with a rich, even tone. The horn is nimble and plays across all registers smoothly. All registers speak very well and play with good accuracy and flexibility. The F and Bb side intonation and timbre match well.
All horns are located at Silver & Brass Music Shop
