There was no compromising on the design of the Holton MF Admiral trumpet . . . only on its price. In fact, this horn is often mistaken for a professional model because of its responsive, easy-blowing characteristics and its large, full tone and great projection. Holton believes that the student should receive the same quality, control and playing ease as a professional but at a student price.
