My German teacher and I were conversing and I found out she plays horn. She
told me that a friend had given her a horn and she knew it was a Holton. We
determined it is a Holton 177. I play on a Holton 179. We looked the specs up
online and it does not seem to have any differances. Does anyone

plays beautifully. They are all making very good, professional quality (yes,
professional quality)
. The 177 has been Old= Faithful for many years and I never could see a

coins so that they extend beyond the ends of the levers.
Lengthening the valve levers, in fact, is 1 of the 3 non-decorational
reasons for soldering
