Hmmm... yes... and no...
Like any other instruments, if the higher quality instrument you want, the higher the price. I play the French horn, and I have a Conn 8DRS. It is an advanced/professional model and it cost about $3500. My beginner model was a cheap student model from eBay and it was CHEAP! :)
I have a friend who plays the Trumpet (major in music) and he bought his trumpet (good quality) in the $2000-$3000 range. Of course, you can always buy higher models and pay even MORE for your instrument, but if you want a good French horn, go with Conn or Hans Hoyer French horns.
Hope this helps!
