"The world’s finest French horn just got better;
the new H105 replaces Holton’s previous H104 flagship
model. The pursuit of perfection has created a new-generation
French horn known for its performance and superb intonation.
The Holton H105’s technological and acoustical flexibility
enables the artist to perform accurately in a wide range of
performance situations. Its two interchangeable mouthpipes
with newly developed tapers make it easy to switch between
work in small chamber ensembles and large symphony orchestras.
The small-venturi mouthpipe is more focused for chamber orchestra
and high-register work. The large-venturi mouthpipe is more
free-blowing, creating an excellent orchestral horn. The specially
tempered red brass bell produces a rich, dark sound capable
of great volume without getting brassy"
