Yamaha YHR-881 French Horn - Yellow Brass

The Yamaha YHR-881 French Horn is a custom " Descant" horn that is known for its light responsive action. What makes this horn stand out is the hammering and annealing process that is involved in its production. This process is important to the instrument's acoustic characteristics that Yamaha employs computer-controlled equipment to ensure consistently superior sound. Hammering enables bells to have a rich, resonant tone that blends beautifully with other instruments. Annealing is a cooling and heating process that makes it easier to control the acoustics of the instrument.
