This is a personal preference so everyone probably has thier own ideas. Some Holton models I like are the early Llewellyn horns, very nice with a unique main tuning lock and adjuster. The Revelation 45, Revelation 48 and Revelation 51 were also nice, I like the 48 better. The one I have has excellent silver plating. It was an eBay find for $70.00. They made a Harry James version that I have never seen but I have heard that they were a large bore screamer. These are some personal favorites. It would be interesting to see what others prefer.
