Rare Holton 4/4 BBb - Sold

Post by Sam Gnagey »

This 3-valve Holton 4/4 BBb dates from 1959. It measures about 33" long, has a 20.5" diameter bell and 0.656" bore. It puts out an immense amount of quality sound for such a compact instrument. The low register ROCKS! The overall condition is good+. It does have one large and one small patch on the lead pipe and a couple largish dents in the bottom bow on the side away from the bell. The valves look worn, but they hold some compression and based on the sound the horn puts out don't leak to any appreciable degree. This is truly an amazing player that will make a new owner very happy. I'm asking $1250 plus shipping. There is a very solid, beautifully hand-built case included.
