Holton are renowned for their comparatively inexpensive professional horns in many styles.  This is a particularly lovely Kruspe-style full F/Bb double with a BIG, ambronze bell.  Ambronze is 'American' for gold brass - so it's an otherwise orthodox Kruspe wrap horn with a yellow brass and nickel-silver engine, but with the complete bell in gold brass (or 'ambronze'!).

It makes that BIG, 'Hollywood' sound which you either love or hate - as we all do with all horn sounds, I suppose.

Apart from just looking absolutely beautiful, there are those who will claim that the gold brass bell procudes a warmer sound than yellow brass or nickel-silver and this fine instrument certainly does not disappoint in any respect:  it plays beautifully, it sounds awesome and it looks a million dollars!

This is an inexpensive professional-quality instrument for someone who wants to make the Hollywood sound but doesn't want to spend a fortune.
