Holton Farkas H378 French Horn
The H378 has similar playing characteristics to those of the H178 with a bright, compact feel and outstanding tonal beauty. Medium throat bell provides a singing tone with fine legato characteristics. Yellow brass produces a higher tone color and clearer projection. Independent Bb main tuning slide allows for increased tuning flexibility.
 
All Holton French Horns, including the single and double models, feature valve rotors that are tapered. This is so that as the valve wears, it automatically seats itself. This includes the bearing surfaces axles on each end of the valve and the bearing plates. All Holton French Horn bells are made with overlapped seams. This is much more durable than one made with a butt seam. It also produces a better tone and timbre. This is one of the outstanding characteristics on which Holton USA French Horns developed its reputation.
