This is a vintage (serial number 523694) Holton H-376 Double French Horn. It is in very good condition, and plays very well. The valves move well with good compression and the slides all move of course. As for the aesthetic condition of this horn, there are some dings and pings, and some scratching and light pitting throughout the horn, particularly on the bell flare. There is also a small brazed repair to the bead on the bell rim, and the Bb side third slide has been patched. The engraving on the bell reads "HOLTON/ ELKHORN, WIS/ USA." and the leadpipe reads "H376". The minor 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.
