Holton H379 - Professional

The H379 is an extraordinary artist-quality instrument at a popular price. It has playing characteristics similar to model H179, but with a darker sound. It has a good center and projection. Harder nickel silver material responds quickly and sounds brighter up close. Hand-fitted rotary valves are manufactured to precise tolerances to provide quick and effortless response.

All Holton French Horns, including the single and double models, feature valve rotors that are tapered. This is so that as the valve wears, it automatically seats itself. This includes the bearing surfaces axles on each end of the valve and the bearing plates. All Holton French Horn bells are made with overlapped seams. This is much more durable than one made with a butt seam. It also produces a better tone and timbre. This is one of the outstanding characteristics on which Holton USA French Horns developed its reputation.

Specifications:

Key of F/Bb, .468" /11.89mm bore, 12.25" large throat bell, nickel silver, tapered rotors and bearings, solid nickel silver inner and outer slides, supplied in hard shaped case.
