This unique 1964 Frank Holton Model LB-77 horn was made in Elkhorn, Wisconsin for my mentor and teacher, Philip Farkas, the former Solo Horn of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Boston Symphony and Cleveland Orchestra. The LB-77 is a forerunner to the Holton LB77NS which later became the Holton H179.
