The solid nickel
silver edition of the H178, model H179 has especially good
center and projection. This free-blowing horn features a rich,
dark sound designed especially for the “big horn”
artist; the tapered tubing and throat of the bell are larger
for a bigger, darker tone. The bell flare produces a mellow,
velvety tone plus a little overtone of a ringing quality.
Hard nickel silver responds quickly and sounds brighter up
close. The most popular Farkas model.
