Impeccably crafted, artist quality.

"Holton horns offer an alternative in design that creates a great experience for the young or advanced players. This Kruspe wrap model offers independent tuning for convenience allowing the player to tune the Bb side of the horn separately from the F side.

The Merker-Matic, the Ethel Merker model as is affectionately known, is a premium double French horn that offers the ultimate in craftsmanship and tonal splendor. Design features such as its newly designed 4th branch, dual bore, and mouthpipe tapers lead professionals to claim an ease of blowing in all registers as well as an exceptionally quick response and a smooth, precise legato.

Key of F/Bb double, .468″ bore; 12.25″ medium-throated, hand-hammered, nickel-silver bell; .310 venturi of yellow brass; tapered hand-lapped valve rotors; brass branches and bows with solid nickel-silver connecting ferrules; slides are solid nickel-silver inside and outside. Includes silver-plated mouthpiece and slimline wood shell case."

Our professional brass technician spent quality time with this H175. Starting with removing the dents out of the bell and re-soldering the 3rd valve brace (on the F side). The horn was disassembled and ultrasonically cleaned, then re-assembled, re-strung, re-greased and given a play-test. This horn is in good condition however there are some intense scratches on the bell flair and near the bottom of the horn. It includes a case, a medium deep cup mouthpiece and French Horn mute to complete the outfit.
