I was shocked when I researched how expensive Holton horns have become! This model, new, sells for over $6000!!! The 181 model is known for it's beautiful Gold brass bell and thus its big dark sound. This one has near perfect compression with a reading of 0.9 and thus it has its entire life ahead of it, at a fraction of what it costs new! It's lacquered with a fixed bell and even has an adjustable duck's foot added for comfort. A Protec case is included.
Tapered valves! Made in America in East Lake, Ohio.
