French Horn

The French horn is a brass instrument characterized by its coiled shape and mellow, rich sound. It produces music through a combination of a mouthpiece, tubing, and a rotary or piston valve system that changes the pitch. The player buzzes their lips into the mouthpiece while pressing valves to alter the air flow, enabling a wide range of notes. The horn's deep, warm tone is often used for harmony and melody in orchestras and bands. Its design allows for expressive dynamics and different tonal colors, making it a versatile and important instrument in many musical settings.
