Here is a vintage (serial number 574249) Holton H-379 Double French Horn. This is a solid nickel silver Kruspe wrap symphonic double horn. This horn is in good condition, and plays well. The valves move well and the slides all move of course. As for the aesthetic condition of this horn, there are a few dings and pings, and some scratching and etching throughout the horn. The bell engraving reads: “HOLTON/ ELKHORN, WIS.” The leadpipe has “H379” stamped near 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, warm sound. The Bb side timbre is slightly brighter than the F side. The horn has a good dynamic range, and the low and high registers speak well. All horns are located at Silver & Brass Music Shop710 N. Curry St. Carson City, NV89703(775) 301-6289
