Up for auction is a vintage (serial number 526010) Holton H-279 "Farkas" Double French Horn. This instrument was developed and designed by Philip Farkas, is in very good condition, and plays very well. The valves move well with very compression, and the slides all move of course. The Holton 279 is identical to the Holton 179 double french horn except that has been upgraded to a screw bell configuration. As for the aesthetic condition of this horn, there are a few small pings throughout the horn, and some light scratching throughout the instrument. The bell flare looks to have been upgraded from the standard nickel to a silver plated yellow brass flare. The engraving on the leadpipe reads "Holton H 279 Made in U.S.A.". 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 new Yamaha briefcase style 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
