From the manufacturer:
Holton horns offer an alternative in design that creates a great experience for the young or advanced players. The Farkas wrap offers independent tuning for convenience allowing the player to tune the Bb side of the horn separately from the F side.
The H179 has especially good center and projection. This free-blowing horn features a rich, dark sound designed especially for the “big horn” artist; the tapered tubing and throat of the bell are larger for a bigger, darker tone. The bell flare produces a mellow, velvety tone plus a little overtone of a ringing quality. Hard nickel silver responds quickly and sounds brighter up close. The most popular Farkas model.
This horn is in great cosmetic condition. There are few signs of wear on the lacquer and evidence of previous dentwork on the bell flare. For a used instrument, however, it is in excellent shape. Beyond cosmetics, the horn plays well, allowing for a dark, velvety tone due to the large throat. Holton H179s are a classic step-up horn for the musician getting serious about their playing.
