12 to 13 feet of metal tubing
7 metres
If you uncoil all of a regular french horn's tubing, in total it would be 12 feet long!
The Bb Trumpet, NOT the French Horn, has 9 ft. French horns have 12-18 feet of tubing.
If the tubing on a Bb tenor trombone were straightened out, it would meaure 108 inches (or 9 feet) from mouthpiece to bell.
There are two factors. One is that the length of the tubing required for the horn would, if straightened out, make a very long and unwieldy horn (you know that horn they use in the Ricola commercials?), so they curl it up instead. The other is just to give it a decorative shape.
For a double horn, the F side is 12 feet long, and the B flat side is 9 feet long. On a single horn, it will only be in one of these keys. Each valve lowers the pitch by adding extra length: the first valve by 2 semitones the second valve by 1 semitone and the third valve by 3 semitones

as long as you can, but eventually your lips will become very numb.
The French Horn's range easily surpasses the other brass instrument's do to its unique shape. It is conical like other brass, but doesn't open as quickly allowing higher range while having long circular tubing enabling the lower register.
French horns are typically used in orchestras as a role that are similar to trumpets: to act as a fanfare-like "battle call" instrument. They can be loud or soft, which make them very versatile instruments and of all the instruments in the brass family, the French horn is said to contain the most amount of tubing.If stretched the french horn measures out 3.7m in lengthit is well over 3m long OMGThe horn comes from a long tradition of instruments first used in ancient china,egypt,and scaninavia.In the 1600's the natural horn was used in the royal mounted hunt.The horn became a regular member of the orchestra during the 1700's
A French Horn is a musical instrument in the brass section. You make sounds by buzzing your lips in the mouthpiece, similar to all other brass instruments. (The Saxophone is not a brass instrument. Even though it looks metallic, it is a woodwind.) The French Horn looks like a snail, it is circular in appearance. It is basically made of a 12 feet long metallic tubing, wound into a circle. The French Horn is usually in the F key, which is why they are also called "F Horn." There are also "double horns," where you have an additional valve that switches the horn to the B flat key. Double horns allow a more accurate pitch overall, since some notes are more accurate on the F horn, and others are more accurate on the B flat horn. Double horns also allow variety in fingering.
You Should Practice The french horn til you cant get anything wrong. I usually practice it for 30 minutes a day. And on concert days, I usually do 20. You can ask your band director or if you have a private lessons teacher.
