BrasswindsFrench HornsRepair

As you have seen, we have gotten lots of new/demo Conn-Selmer French horns in the last few months, but I still have plenty of nice used ones on my shelf to go through!

This one is a nice Holton H279 - it’s seen some action in its time, but is still pretty solid and will serve you well. It badly needed a cleaning, and had neon green corrosion on its rotors, but now it smells like clean dishes and is ready to play! I did some minor dent removal on the bell flare as well, and the screw bell works well.

This horn would be perfect for the advancing student, or for the pro on a budget. Look for it in our listings soon!

Wishing you fabulous weekend gigs!
