Holton horns offer an alternative in design that creates a great experience for the young or advanced players. This Farkas model offers independent tuning for convenience allowing the player to tune the Bb side of the horn seperately from the F side.
This Farkas Wrap horn offers a large throat yellow brass bell with nickel silver inner and outer slides. In addition, the Holton Farkas horns all feature an independent tuning slide for the Bb side of the instrument for convenience.
