Free-Blowing Feel From Nickel-Silver Leadpipe The H179 features a nickel-silver leadpipe that provides an incredibly free-blowing feel, enabling effortless high range and rapid tonguing. This leadpipe, combined with the horn's .468" bore, allows for a focused, brilliant sound with ringing overtones. Dark, Centered Tone From Kruspe Wrap Equipped with a Kruspe wrap, the H179 produces an open, velvety tone with a solid tonal core. The Kruspe wrap, popular with larger throat bell horns, is known for generating a darker, more rounded sound compared to the brighter Geyer wrap commonly found on smaller throat bell horns. Responsive Valve Section for Fluid Playability The H179 features tapered, hand-lapped rotors to ensure an airtight seal and quick response. Full-string linkage provides fast, quiet action, enabling rapid tonguing, trills, and other advanced techniques. These high-performance valves respond instantly to the subtlest changes in embouchure pressure and air speed for optimal control and playability. Premium Components for a Lifetime of Use Constructed from durable yet resonant nickel silver, the H179 is built to withstand decades of regular performance use. The horn includes a sturdy hardshell case for safe transport and storage. When paired with routine maintenance, the H179 will provide a lifetime of rich, powerful tone.
