Following is from Holton H179 Farkas Series write-up
The Holton H179 Professional Farkas French Horn is regarded among working professionals and leading academics as the flagship of the Holton line. It produces the centered tone sought by all players. True temper makes it a delight to fly over even the most difficult passages.  This free-blowing Farkas horn features a rich, dark sound designed especially for the "big horn" artist. The tapered tubing and throat of the bell are larger for a bigger, darker tone. The bell flare produces a mellow, velvety tone plus a little overtone of a ringing quality. Hard nickel silver responds quickly and sounds brighter up close.

The lowdown: Key of Bb/F double, .468" bore; 12-1/4" bell; large-throated .310 venturi; noiseless string action, short stroke with stainless steel spring; tapered hand-lapped brass valve rotors.
