Yamaha YHR-871D French Horn

The Yamaha YHR-871D has been a long time in the making, reaching its current high level of refinement after much trial and error and dedicated development. Parts and materials have been meticulously upgraded to the highest quality while retaining the authentic Geyer wrap configuration, resulting in an instrument that Yamaha can offer with pride. The YHR-871D produces a bright tone with complex harmonics that add up to a rich overall sound, and those characteristics are retained from the lowest to highest registers with a consistent playing feel. An adjustable  4th rotor thumb lever, adjustable pinky hook, long Bb 2nd slide pull ring, and other carefully considered details contribute to stress-free playing convenience and comfort.
