The worlds finest French horn just got better; the new H105 replaces Holtons previous H104 flagship model. The pursuit of perfection has created a new-generation French horn known for its performance and superb intonation. The Holton H105s technological and acoustical flexibility enables the artist to perform accurately in a wide range of performance situations. Its two interchangeable mouthpipes with newly developed tapers make it easy to switch between work in small chamber ensembles and large symphony orchestras. The small-venturi mouthpipe is more focused for chamber orchestra and high-register work. The large-venturi mouthpipe is more free-blowing, creating an excellent orchestral horn. The specially tempered red brass bell produces a rich, dark sound capable of great volume without getting brassy.
Model H188 features mouthpipe, branch, and bell tapers of an all-new design. It offers the largest open-throated bell made by Holton, giving it a full, sonorous sound with rich depth that maintains its core and tone at any volume. Players looking for a horn capable of great tonal volume need look no further. H188 is designed to be very responsive and free-blowing with excellent tonal balance.
This instrument is a full (not compensating) double, requiring no compromise of intonation on valve combination, as is the case with compensating designs. The fifth valve is a Bb-F rotor. The fourth valve is a muting valve that lowers the horn 3/4 step to bring stopped horn mutes into tune; no transposing is necessary. Extra fourth slide puts Bb horn in the key of A, so written E horn parts do not have to be transposed.
An easy-blowing and responsive single horn, the Collegiate model H650 allows clean execution of notes due to its smaller taper in the mouthpipe and venturi and its short-stroke rotary valve action. A fine horn for introductory students.
A versatile horn quite appropriate for high school and college marching band and orchestral performance. Model H177 offers a bright, compact feel and sound. It includes a hand-fitted rotary valve system, string linkage, separate Bb tuning slide and change lever designed to fit the thumb in a natural position. Nickel silver material is extremely corrosion resistant.
The solid nickel silver edition of the H178, model 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.
The H378 has similar playing characteristics to those of the H178, with a bright, compact feel and sound. Yellow brass produces a higher tone color with more overtones for clearer projection. Capable of playing piannissimo staccato notes clearly and evenly.
The H379 is an extraordinary artist-quality instrument at a popular price. It has playing characteristics similar to model H179, but with a darker sound. It has a good center and projection. Harder nickel silver material responds quickly and sounds brighter up close. Hand-fitted rotary valves are manufactured to precise tolerances to provide quick and effortless response.
Plays very much like the F side of the Farkas H178. It has a bright, compact feel with an excellent center, focus and projection. Its sound is dark, but with a singing tone and excellent legato characteristics. An ideal student horn.
The Holton T602 features a solid, pleasing tone with positive and quick valve action. Its outstanding appearance and finish, durable construction and surprisingly professional performance all belie its price. The T602 is an excellent trumpet value.
The player will immediately notice the ability to play low-range notes without loss of volume or increased resistance. The rose brass bell imparts a rich, dark sound. The TR160 is responsive and flexible for use as a tenor, yet heavy enough to fill in on bass. This model is remarkably well balanced and comfortable to hold.
A large-bore tenor designed to serve as an alternative to artist models, the TR680 allows the student to bridge the gap between small-bore and large-bore instruments. It is highly recommended as an introduction to the bass trombone, as it offers enough resistance for the student to produce a full sound and assists in maintaining intonation. The unique flat wrap F attachment provides an extra measure of protection against damage.
