"The latest addition to the popular and innovative Holton
“Merker-Matic” is offered for those who prefer the Geyer wrap
design. This configuration positions the Bb/F “trigger” rotor
after the third valve, facilitating smoother slurs between
the F and Bb sides of the horn. The H192 also has the small
bell and main branch and longer inner tuning slides characteristic
to this design along with Holton's acoustically tuned, slow
tapered mouthpipe. This lends a resistance that is comfortable,
with just enough center and focus to enhance the controllability
and feel of the horn. Hornists will also find this model's
legato qualities to be particularly fluid.
Like all models in
the Merker line, the H192 features the innovative Merker dual
bore, which contributes to the even resistance and accurate
intonation from the F to the Bb horn, and to the precise articulation
that is particularly effective in the high-register Bb side.
The combination of all these benefits result in a horn that
is quite versatile, with a resonating, elegantly warm and
rich tone quality"
