French Horn

The french horn bell points to the back when you play, and the music sounds far away. The velvety tone of the french horn blends well in both bands and orchestras. The french horn uses three valves, a trigger, and airspeed to change pitch. Students that have piano or vocal experience are encouraged to play this instrument as it requires a keen ear.
