I'd be grateful if anyone tell me a bit about the history of this instrument? Vintage? Student model? Worthwhile? When it was made? It seems to play o.k. ========== The Holton 178/278 are current production of the original Farkas medium bore double horn. The 278 was supplied with a screw-off bell. Serial number indicates mid- to late- 1980's for a production date. This is a professional model horn, whatever that means. Versus an H-378 intermediate horn, it is more completely built and fitted.
