Holton H378 or H379 French Horn

Starting at

$2,769

The H378 has similar playing characteristics to those of the H178, with a bright, compact feel and sound. Yellow brass produces a higher tone color with more overtones for clearer projection. It is capable of playing pianissimo staccato notes clearly and evenly. It features the same parts as the H178, but with some braces, pull rings and medallion removed. The F auxiliary slide is not detachable, and the valve caps are plated and not jeweled, but this is a professional horn at a cost effective price. It has a .468” bore, a 12.25” medium throat hand hammered bell, yellow brass construction, tapered rotors and bearing, and solid nickel silver inner and outer slides. The model H379 has all the above features except with a nickel silver, large throated bell.
