For sale is a very nice Holton H179 double horn. Holton H179s are generally pretty good horns, but this one is quite another level. This horn has a Lawson leadpipe custom installed, a full valve rebuild (great valve compression!), an adjustable finger ring, a duck foot, a bell cut, the lacquer stripped, and last (but certainly not least) a Wes Hatch "Resonance Rehabilitation" job has been done to this horn, meaning the entire horn has been professionally detensioned, all imperfections in the tapers have been corrected, and any other manufacture defects have been repaired. This horn is a step above other 179s!
Not only does this horn play great, but it also looks great. There are no major dents or dings, and the unlacquered nickel silver body looks great on this horn. There are no thin spots or damage. This is a fantastic horn! This horn really does play well. Every note slots amazingly well. It has a beautiful sound, and is truly a joy to play. I can certainly recommend it as a professional level horn to any player out there who may be interested.
This horn has been professionally cleaned and serviced in my shop and is ready to play! Included is a lightly used, but very nice ProTec iPac screw bell horn case. No mouthpiece is included.
The serial number of this horn is 569929.
