HOLTON H-378
£990.00
SOLD
This very good unlacquered yellow brass
HOLTON H-378 medium-bore horn is almost identical
to the more expensive H-178 professional model,
although it is very slightly heavier.
An 'almost iconic' long-tried-and-tested horn,
regarded by many teachers as the 'industry
standard intermediate horn', it is still in production, so
spare parts are always available.
Weighing only 2.47 kg, it is not quite
as heavy as some Intermediate full double horns.
Distance from finger hook to 4th valve lever: 10 cm, very close to the
theoretical ideal of 9.5 cm.
NB: This is a very important specification that is often neglected
or overlooked by horn sellers, makers and even some teachers.
The small hands of a young player usually cannot cope
with a left hand stretch that is too wide (although there is
sometimes some scope for a brass technician to re-position
either the finger hook, or, less easily, the 4th valve lever).
The horn's owner, Gerry Birch Music Services,
recently fitted a water key (Amado-Getzen type) on
the leadpipe, as well as overhauling and servicing
the horn, which comes with a new silver plated
Yamaha- style mouthpiece and a very
protective hard case in good condition.
It is an ideal choice for a young player upgrading from
a 'mini' or a compensator, since it plays with an
even, consistent response and a clear, ringing
sound over the whole range.
