Holton H200
Holton H200 Description:
It requires no compromise of intonation on valve combination, as is the case with compensating designs.
The fifth valve is a Bb-F rotor. The fourth valve is a muting valve that lowers the horn 3/4 step to bring stopped horn mutes into tune without intonation.
Extra fourth slide puts Bb in the key of A, so written E horn parts do not have to be transposed.
Key of Bb/high F Descant. .468" bore; 12.25" large-throated, hand-hammered, yellow brass detachable bell; 5 valves; tapered, hand-lapped brass rotors; brass branches and crooks with solid nickel silver connecting ferrules; slides are hand-lapped brass both inside and outside; lacquered brass finish.
This instrument is a "full" (not compensating) double, requiring no compromise of intonation on valve combination, as is the case with compensating designs.
The fifth valve is a Bb-F rotor. The fourth valve is a muting valve that lowers the horn 3/4 step to bring stopped horn mutes into tune; no transposing is necessary.
Extra fourth slide puts Bb horn in the key of A, so written E horn parts do not have to be transposed.
