Up for auction is a vintage (serial number 574995) Holton H-279 "Farkas" Double French Horn. This instrument was developed and designed by Philip Farkas, is in very good condition, and plays well. The valves move well and the slides all move of course. The Holton 279 is identical to the Holton 179 double french horn except that it has a screw bell configuration. The horn started life as a standard Holton 179 double french horn, and has been upgraded to a screw bell configuration, which means that it is now a Holton 279. The bell has been replaced, and is a slightly darker shade than the rest of the horn. As for the aesthetic condition of this horn, there are some small dings and pings throughout the horn, and scratching and etching throughout the instrument. The engraving on the leadpipe reads “Holton H179 MADE IN USA”. 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 wished for the horn to stay as shiny as it is now; if they are not wipes off then the horn will develop a lovely patina. This instrument comes with a new Yamaha briefcase style case, and a mouthpiece in good condition.How the horn plays: Thick, bright sound; high and low registers accessible; Bb side a bit brighter than F side All horns are located at Silver & Brass Music Shop710 N. Curry St. Carson City, NV89703(775) 301-6289
