crook C- 605. , Thank you Anthony -
Yes I owned a Holton 605 Shepherds Crook. Excellent sound and well built. Sounded great with Denis Wick short shank mouthpieces.

@Gendreauj Thank you it really is a nice horn .I picked it up on eBay for $45.00 invested another $45 to straighten out the bell ...it looked like the player passed out and fell on the bell! I am curious is it a student horn because it is built pretty sturdy ? Thank you for any help Happy New Year ,Anthony

Yes it is a student horn. But it punches above its weight. What mouthpiece do you use?

@Gendreauj I use a Bach 6 .I really don't care if it's a student horn or not anymore because I am finding out that vintage student horns some were built better .Also I had a Wick 4 ?? Cornet m.p. but I think I gave it to someone as a gift.

Have owned many vintage cornets and Holton, Conn, Olds are excellent cornets. They are more consistent than modern day Bach horns.
