Yamaha YHR-668NII French Horn

The Yamaha YHR-668NII Orchestral French horn is designed for players who prefer the strong sound of a large bell instrument. This large-bell horn features a carefully designed leadpipe taper that contributes to enhanced mid and low register tone while offering overall sound and playability that satisfy the needs of players in a variety of styles and environments. Consummate craftsmanship has been applied in creating a bore and tubing configuration that achieve ideal breath resistance. The outer edge of the bell has been made a little thinner than usual, resulting in improved response to subtle dynamic nuances. Pianissimo passages that would normally be difficult are easier to play, and deep, satisfying tone is retained right up to the most commanding fortissimo.
