The Holton H179 is one of the most respected double horns in the game — a staple in high school, college, and community orchestra sections thanks to its rich, dark tone and rock-solid response. With its large throat bell and tapered rotary valves, the H179 offers that unmistakable Holton warmth while still keeping articulation crisp and focused. If you’re stepping up from an intermediate horn or returning to serious playing, this model is a trusted partner that meets you where you are and grows with you.

Key Features:

  • Nickel-silver construction for durability and a centered, projecting tone

  • Kruspe-style wrap offering smooth airflow and a broad, open feel

  • F/Bb double horn with reliable, responsive rotary valves

  • Large throat bell for rich, orchestral tone and powerful low register

  • Detachable bell design (on most H179 models) for easier transport and storage

  • Holton case included — protective and road-ready

  • Used, B+ condition — light cosmetic wear only; valves fast and smooth, slides move freely

Condition: Used and well maintained. Typical light surface marks from handling, no dents that affect playability, valves respond quickly, compression feels solid, and the horn speaks evenly across the range. Fully inspected by our brass tech.
