Holton H379 French Horn - clear lacquered nickel silver

The Holton H379 Double Horn in F/B-Flat

Holton horns offer an alternative in design that creates a great experience for 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 H379 is an artist-quality instrument at a popular price. It has playing characteristics similar to the H179, with good center and projection. Harder nickel silver material responds quickly and sounds brighter up close. Hand-fitted rotary valves are manufactured to precise tolerances to provide quick and effortless response.

Farkas Style Wrap

The Farkas wrap is a variation of the Kruspe wrap, named after the legendary horn player Philip Farkas. Horns with a Farkas wrap help the player create rich, resonant tones with smooth airflow and solid projection, ideal for orchestral and advanced playing.

.468-inch Bore Size

The .468-inch bore offers a free-blowing experience, facilitating ease of play and tonal flexibility.

Featuring a 12.25-inch large-throat bell made of nickel silver, the H379 delivers a dark, centered tone with excellent projection.
