Double French Horn H179

The Professional French Horn, recommended by teachers across the United States, is a featured gem. Over the past 20 years, the Double French Horn has remained in pristine condition with no dings, pings, or dents, only featuring feather scratches typical of regular usage. All slides and valves operate smoothly within normal parameters, as the French Horn has been meticulously maintained since its original purchase. Our In-House Technician has fine-tuned the French Horn for optimal playing conditions. The instrument comes with a hard shell case and mouthpiece, making it a great value compared to buying new.

Featured on our website, the Holton H179 Farkas Double French Horn (Silver) is the solid nickel silver version of the H178 model. Known for its exceptional center and projection, this free-blowing horn is designed for "big horn" artists. The tapered tubing and bell throat produce a bigger, darker tone, while the bell flare adds a mellow, velvety sound with a hint of ringing overtones. The nickel silver material provides quick response and a bright sound up close, making it the preferred choice among Farkas models.
