Holton Super Collegiate - SOLD
Serial number: 279746
Year Produced: 1955
Instrument: Brass with Nickel Bell Flare
Price: $250 + Shipping and Handling
This Super Collegiate was built with a bell tail of yellow brass, and a nickle-silver bell flare, which gives this horn lots of presence and very quick response. The remainder of the horn is brass with nickle trim; altogether a very attractive instrument!
This is a VERY EARLY Super Collegiate, later models had a Copper Bell Flare, this version has a NICKEL Bell Flare (easily seen in picture #2 below)
All slides and valves move freely - compression is good as well.
