Mmmm... Steve, Unless I'm confused, I don't think the Sansone on the Dillon
website is the same horn I saw at Dillon Music last week. I seem to
remember that the Sansone I saw had a wrap like the Holton Farkas, however I
could be wrong. Believe it or not, even I being the rocket scientist turned
horn player I am, am capable of error! ;o)

and seem to share many components. The model 376 was produced as a student
horn for several years, and seems to be approximately the same horn as the
model 76.>
Look what I stumbled upon on E-Bay:
VINTAGE FRANK HOLTON FRENCH HORN MODEL 76 1960'S
I can't give the link, but if you go to Ebay & search for Holton Horns,
you'll find this one. Notice the Bb slides on top. It's being sold by a
pawn shop in New Orleans. This however, this is not like the Sansone I
played at Dillons which has the little Bb tuning slide right under the
valve like the Holton Farkas horns have now. Valerie
