The C scale for horns has no sharps or flats in the key signature, so starting on low C, the fingerings are: C (open), D (1), E (open), F (1), G (open), A (1 2), B (2), C (open)
Concert C would be the G scale for horns, which means it has one sharp in the key signature. Starting on low G, the fingerings are: G (open), A (1 2), B (2), C (open), D (1), E (open), F# (2), G (open).
The fingerings on both are for a single French horn.
when an instrument is in b flat (such as trumet tenor sax or french horn) it means that if a c tuned instrument is playing in c (such as a piano guitar banjo or most instruments) the french horn has to be transposed down two flats and 6 notes. But if it was in f it would have to be only one flat less and each note would have to be transposed as such.
Same as B major
The French horn is an F instrument. That means when a middle C is played on the horn, it sounds the same as an F a fifth below middle C on the piano.
French Horn in F plays a G
The written pitch for a French horn in F transposes down a perfect fifth. When a concert pitch of F is played, the French horn will sound a written pitch of C. Therefore, if a composer writes a C for the French horn, the horn will actually produce a concert pitch of F. This transposition is essential for composers and musicians to understand for accurate performance.

the french horn the highest is the C cornet/ trumpet followed by the Flugal horn which looks like a cornet but is normally E Flat. the you go to french and tenor horns .
French Horn in F plays a G
The key of c is open valve. I would know, I play trumpet, french horn and mellophone.
G-flat (2,3) A-flat (1) B-flat (0) C-flat (1,2,3) D-flat (2,3) E-flat (1) F (0) G-flat (2,3)
E flat first, F open, G first and second, A second, B flat open, C first, D open, High E flat First

If a horn is pitched in F, then a horn player that plays the C scale on the horn is, when compared to a piano or flute or violin (which is made in concert pitch), actually playing the F scale. The horn overall is in the key of F. The same goes if it's pitched in B-flat or E-flat: the C scale will actually be the concert B-flat scale or concert E-flat scale. I hope that helps. Let me know if anything needs further explanation. =)
The French horn is built so that it sounds in the key of F. If a hornist's music says to play a middle C, it will be the same pitch as an F below middle C on the piano. If a piece of music is writen in Concert F, a C-instrument, such as a trombone, will have one flat (B flat) in his or her key signature while a hornist will have no sharps or flats.
