The Beauty Of The French Horn

For many years I have been very interested in one special musical instrument: the French horn. If you have never heard a French horn, well this intriguing  brass instrument with a mellow tone. There are not small instrument. A normal French horn will be 12 feet of tubing  and it is part of the bass family that include . he trumpet, trombone, French horn, and tuba.  At 17 ft the longest of the brass instruments except for the tuba.

The French horn was created with of a long, spiral tube ending in a flaring bell, three valves, and a funnel-shaped mouthpiece. That is why is called a  "horn" as many  musicians playing classical music call this instrument.. One f the ironic things with the French horns is that there are not strictly French in origin.  

The horn (is a brass instrument   Modern French horns have three valves which lower the pitch a semitone, a tone, and three semitones (minor third).  It became known in England about this time, and they called it the French horn.  Use of the term French horn dates at least from the 17th century.  Another major contribution in the 18th century was the emergence of the French horn as an orchestral instrument.  The French horn produces a beautiful sound but is one of the trickiest Western classical instruments to play.  
If you are a musician you will understand the differences of a French horn with other instruments

As I mention before it is usually higher than twelve feet (for a single horn in the key of F) of mostly conical tubing (like you will find in a classic tuba or euphonium), wrapped into a compact, coiled form with a flared bell.  A very important characteristic of the French horn is the fact it was a very defined resonances up to the 22nd or beyond, playable up to at least the sixteen harmonic, compared to about nine playable resonances for the trumpet and trombone.

The horn plays in a well high portion of its cousins in the same musical family as compared to most brass instruments.  Another characteristic feature is the funnel-shaped mouthpiece, unlike the cup-shaped mouthpieces of other brass instruments.  It also allows the instrument to produce resonant highs out to about 1500 Hz, compared to low 750 Hz without hand closure.  The valves divert the air through gentle and small extra lengths of tubing, thus making the instrument shortly longer and therefore deeper.  

The problem with the French horn is how difficult it is to play, and that's why so many people simply don't even play such an amazing instrument. The French horn isn't the easiest of instruments to start playing, and based on this fact it's uncommon to see young people to start playing the instrument until they are at least 11 or 12 years old.  Also for young people it is never easy to tune the horn, because its tuning is adjusted by slides and the instrument is tuned with the hand in the bell.  

A true pity, there is nothing like the music of a good French horn.

Need Trombone Slide Help FAST!?

Hey, I have a great yamaha f attachment trombone with an amazing slide. So I've never cleaned this cool slide in the few months I've had it other than putting some slide o mix and water on it. So I decide to clean it today with 1 of those tube cleaner things you know where it's a long stringy thing with 2 spiky things on the end. Then I filled the outer tubes with water and emptied it. After cleaning it for the first time my slide is 5 times worse! It makes shhhhhhh sounds when I play now sounds scratchy. I don't know what to do help me please I need advice asap!

Try putting superslick in it. If that doesn't work, it is probably to oxidized within the outer slide tubes. You can use wrights brass polish on the slides to take off the oxidization, then try it again.

If you know that it needs work, don't hire the joe schmo repair man to repair your slide. Most likely, he doesn't know anything and will stretch your slide tubes. Contact Koda and he will give you a list of very good technicians that can help. kodagoldberg@gmail.com

Hope this helps.
