French horn

The French horn is a brass instrument known for its warm, smooth, and rich tone. It is used in orchestras, concert bands, and brass ensembles, where it can play both beautiful melodies and powerful harmonies. With its distinctive coiled shape and wide range, the French horn is one of the most versatile instruments in the brass family.

What type of french horn does my child need?

Most beginners start on a single Bb French horn, which is lighter, easier to play, and ideal for younger students. As your child develops their skills, their teacher may recommend moving to a double French horn, which offers a wider range and greater flexibility.
