"Model H188 features mouthpipe, branch, and bell tapers
of an all-new design. It offers the largest open-throated
bell made by Holton, giving it a full, sonorous sound with
rich depth that maintains its core and tone at any volume.
Players looking for a horn capable of great tonal volume need
look no further. H188 is designed to be very responsive and
free-blowing with excellent tonal balance"
