says
The H379 is an
extraordinary artist-quality instrument at a popular price.
It has playing characteristics similar to model H179, but
with a darker sound. It has a good center and projection.
Harder nickel silver material responds quickly and sounds
brighter up close. Hand-fitted rotary valves are manufactured
to precise tolerances to provide quick and effortless response.
