________________________________
"A clear attack that fills the hall with richness." The Holton Farkas Model H279R, carrying forward the classic American horn sound.
[Overview]
Holton F/Bâ™ full double French horn, Philip Farkas Model. Bell/body/mouthpipe: nickel silver, lacquer finish. Bell: large throat, detachable (bell-cut). Rotors: string action. 4th rotor: F/Bâ™ switchable (reverse system). Year built: 1994. Accessories: hard case (lots of stickers/adhesive residue, no key). New price: 1,155,000 yen.

Otherwise, light scuffing and contact marks scattered throughout, but no noticeable damage or lacquer loss. Tubing cleaned, all rotors disassembled and cleaned, all slides serviced and adjusted, soft parts replaced.
[Features]
The Philip Farkas Model is the full double French horn that represents America's storied Holton company. Developed in 1958 under the full supervision of the great horn player Philip Farkas, it has long been cherished as a symbol of the American horn sound.
This H279R uses nickel silver for the bell, body, and mouthpipe in a large-throat configuration. It combines clear articulation and quick response with a sound that carries real weight and scale - powerful when pushed hard, and richly resonant filling the hall when played softly.
Many will hear echoes of postwar American major orchestras and their classic horn sections in this tone. The brightness, thickness, and warmth of this distinctive character, heard less often these days, is something only this instrument can truly deliver.
A horn that lets you fully enjoy the classic American horn sound - a true representative of Holton's golden era.
