Used Holton H189 Merker Double French Horn w/ Case, Mute, Mouthpiece - we cleaned it and gave it a precision rotor alignment. H189 classic Farkas horn, lots of up front resistance great for developing players, easy to control. Classic Hollywood blockbuster movie sound.
Excellent shape, just some minor lacquer loss where the horn makes contact with the case. Evidence of minor repair on the bell tail where the lacquer is gone - solder joint, but no signs of significant trauma. Excellent rotor action and compression - almost like new! Comes with case, H&B non transposing stop mute, Holton Farkas model mouthpiece
FROM HOLTON:
Those hornists who want an instrument that provides great volume and sonorous tone without sacrificing control in the upper register need look no further. By combining an extra-large-throated bell and branch with the innovative Merker dual bore, the H189 offers the best of both worlds. It produces a tone that is exceptionally full, with rich depth that retains its core and timbre qualities. At the same time, it enables the artist to reach those difficult high notes with greater ease and accuracy.
The horn also features the versatility of the independent Bb/F tuning system, as found on our finest Holton models, along with the adjustable finger hook and heavyweight valve caps that are a standard feature on all Merker-Matic horns.
