All Holton French Horns, including the single and double models, feature valve rotors that are tapered. This is so that as the valve wears, it automatically
seats itself. This includes the bearing surfaces axles on each end of the valve and the bearing plates. All of our French Horn bells are made with overlapped
seams. This is much more durable than one made with a butt seam. It also produces a better tone and timbre. This is one of the outstanding characteristics
on which Holton French Horns developed its reputation. We feature four different sizes of bell throats, small, medium, large, and extra large. All are hand
hammered with a 12 ¼” diameter except for the student's French Horns which are 10”.
