"Merker-Matic" - Dual bore .468" / .460", lacquered brass, Geyer wrap

Features: Detachable bell

Description

The latest addition to the popular and innovative Holton “Merker-Matic” is offered for those who prefer the Geyer wrap design. This configuration positions the Bb/F “trigger” rotor after the third valve, facilitating smoother slurs between the F and Bb sides of the horn. The H192 also has the small bell and main branch and longer inner tuning slides characteristic to this design along with Holton’s acoustically tuned, slow tapered mouthpipe. This lends a resistance that is comfortable, with just enough center and focus to enhance the controllability and feel of the horn. Hornists will also find this model’s legato qualities to be particularly fluid.

Like all models in the Merker line, the H192 features the innovative Merker dual bore, which contributes to the even resistance and accurate intonation from the F to the Bb horn, and to the precise articulation that is particularly effective in the high-register Bb side. The combination of all these benefits result in a horn that is quite versatile, with a resonating, elegantly warm and rich tone quality.
