Up for auction is a vintage (serial number 665688) Holton H-179 "Farkas" Double French Horn. This instrument was developed and designed with the help of Philip Farkas. It is a solid nickel silver Kruspe wrap symphonic double horn. It is in very good condition, and plays very well. The valves move well and have like new compression. The slides all move of course. As for the aesthetic condition of this horn, there are a few small pings, and some minor scratching and etching as well as some very light rippling throughout the instrument. The engraving on the leadpipe reads "Holton USA H179". 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, this horn is finished in pure metal, and may have to be polished every few months, if played often. 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 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.All horns are located at Silver & Brass Music Shop710 N. Curry St. Carson City, NV89703(775) 301-6289
