From Conn Selmer:

"Holton horns offer an alternative in design that creates a great experience for the young or advanced players. The horn offers independent tuning for convenience allowing the player to tune the Bb side of the horn seperately from the F side.

The H179 has especially good center and projection. This free-blowing horn features a rich, dark sound designed especially for the “big horn” artist; the tapered tubing and throat of the bell are larger for a bigger, darker tone. The bell flare produces a mellow, velvety tone plus a little overtone of a ringing quality. Hard nickel silver responds quickly and sounds brighter up close. The most popular Farkas model."
