Yamaha YHR-881 French Horn - Yellow Brass

CUSTOM DESCANT FRENCH HORN

 

The customer " Descant" horn features light responsive action. Hammering and annealing are processes so 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.
