Yamaha YHR-871IID Double French Horn

Wrap Style and Bell

A traditional Geyer style wrap is used with a medium size bell and relatively thick rim wire. The tone is rich and deep with a solid core.

Leadpipe

A new leadpipe design in gold brass contributes to consistent tone and resistance throughout the instrument’s range.

One-piece Mouthpiece Receiver

The machined one-piece mouthpiece receiver on the YHR-871II has higher rigidity than conventional types for superior sound transmission. To the player that means notably improved response and a clear sound with impressive presence.

Solid 4th Rotor

The adoption of a solid 4th rotor results in ideal resistance as well as deeper, richer tone. The shape of the rotor has also been modified to reduce the slight breath noise that can occur when switching between the F side and Bb side, allowing the player to concentrate more fully on the music.

Slide and Valve Casing

The inner tubes of all tuning slides are made of gold brass to emphasize the horn’s tonal clarity and depth. The main tuning slide also has a rounded shape that provides ideal blowing resistance for this class of instrument. The valve casing is made of Nickel silver for enhanced response and durability.

Adjustable 4th Thumb Lever and Pinky Hook

The 4th thumb lever and pinky hook can be adjusted for the most comfortable playing position.

Long Pull Ring

The Bb 2nd valve slide features a long pull ring that adds to the instrument’s playing convenience.

Valve Caps and Bell Screw

Engraved brass valve caps and Nickel silver at the bell screw enhance appearance, adding visual sophistication that is on a par with high-end models.
