"Those hornists who want an instrument that provides
great volume and sonorous tone without sacrificing control
in the upper register need look no further. By combining an
extra-large-throated bell and branch with the innovative Merker
dual bore, the H189 offers the best of both worlds. It produces
a tone that is exceptionally full, with rich depth that retains
its core and timbral qualities. At the same time, it enables
the artist to reach those difficult high notes with greater
ease and accuracy. The horn also features the versatility
of the independent Bb/F tuning system, as found on our finest
Holton models, along with the adjustable finger hook and heavyweight
valve caps that are a standard feature on all Merker-Matic
horns"
