Holton Model H281 'Farkas' Professional Double French Horn SN XXXXXX GORGEOUS
French Horns
<p>The Farkas model French horns have been Holton's best instruments for years. They are consistently excellent instruments, possessing a beautiful tone quality, excellent intonation, and easy playing characteristics. The H281 is a tremendous horn. The red brass body produces a warm soloistic sound that is just right for solo orchestral playing. A free-blowing horn, the large throat bronze bell produces a darker sound that can be played at increased dynamic volumes while minimizing brassy edge. The independent Bb main tuning slide allows for increased tuning flexibility. Detachable bell. Lacquer finish.</p>
