Frank, an accomplished trombonist, started his business by selling his own proprietary slide oil, which then evolved into the production of brass instruments. After moving his factory to Elkhorn, Wisconsin, in 1917, Frank Holton & Company continued to produce high-end brass instruments, and then later expanded into student-level horns. Upon retiring, Frank sold the company to employee William Kull. The company was later acquired by Leblanc, then by Conn-Selmer in 2004, which continues Holton's tradition of creating outstanding brass instruments and accessories.Holton H378 French Horn Features:Step-up Farkas-style F/Bb French horn for intermediate playersYellow brass leadpipe offers a free-blowing feel.468-inch bore delivers that elusive centered toneKruspe wrap delivers an open, dark sound with a rock-solid tonal centerTapered, hand-lapped brass valve rotors ensure a snug fit and tight seal between the valves and casingNoiseless string action and stainless steel springs12-inch, medium-throat yellow brass bell enables you to play pianissimo staccato notes cleanly and evenlyLacquered brass finish brings a delicate warmth to your overall sound and looks amazingIncludes a case and a Holton-Farkas MC mouthpieceSpecificationDetailTypeDouble HornLevelProfessionalKeyF/BbFinishClear LacquerBody MaterialYellow BrassBell MaterialYellow BrassBell Size12.25"Bell TypeFixedBore.468"WrapKruspeThroatMediumValves4 Tapered Rotary Valves, Tapered Bearings, String Linkage SystemLeadpipe MaterialYellow BrassMouthpieceHolton-Farkas MCAdditional FeaturesNickel Silver SlidesCase/Gig BagHardshell Case
