About Holton French Horns:
The turn of the last century foretold a new age in French horn craftsmanship when Frank Holton opened his third-floor two-room Chicago shop in 1898. Formerly first trombonist in Sousa’s band, Holton achieved initial success with his revolutionary slide oil formula, Electric Oil, which is still popular today. Soon Holton began experiments to improve brasswind instrument design.
In 1917 Holton moved his company to Elkhorn, Wisconsin, where it has remained as the country’s oldest continually operating wind instrument company.
New standards for excellence were set when G. Leblanc Corporation acquired Holton in 1964. This alliance has produced Holton French Horns recognised as the finest in the world, bearing such names as Collegiate, Slotspie, Farkas and Merker.
