If you're looking for a good double horn that will hold its value and play great - all at an affordable price, this is the horn. It's a yellow brass, lacquered, fixed bell Holton H178. These horns are EVERYWHERE in the U.S. They are the perfect first double horn and will keep a budding performance major in good standing until it's time for their first fully professional double. This horn is all set to go - it doesn't need anything other than a player. The compression is great at 1.4, and though there are small dings here and there, it's in overall good condition. These horns cost over 5K new!!!. A Holton fixed bell case is included.
