Holton Model TR156 from the mid 1970's, discontinued Holton model. Unlacaquered 9" rose brass bell with yellow brass tuning slide, balance weight, and nickel silver straight bore .547 handslide. This is an excellent playing vintage Holton. No signs of any damage or major repairs. Has an amazing handslide, without inner wear, tubes very straight. Handslde is one of the best on any Holton I have ever plyed. The horn plays dark as one would expect., but also lively and will color and brighten when desired. Would make an excellent straight tenor for an orchestra player looking for a different sound, or perhaps someone that like 88H's and is looking for more projection. Would also make an excellent large bore jazz horn for an experienced player. Comes with a hard shell 88H case by Conn-Selmer, in excellent condition. This is a classic vintage horn that will become increasingly more rare as time passes.
