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.
The correct name for the instrument is simply the horn, or F horn, or horn in F. That F refers to the key in which it plays. People erroneously thought the F stood for French, and the name stuck. There was something unsatisfying about calling an instrument the horn without adding a modifier to the name.
The note names on a piano don't correspond with the note names on french horn. A piano is in the key of C and a french horn is in the key of F.
If it's a doble horn, just hold down the thumb key, and then play the trumpet music like it's horn music.
The soprano saxophone is in B-flat, one octave above the tenor.
If you have a single horn, it's fingers 1 and 2 for A natural, and fingers 2 and 3 for A flat. If you have a double horn, you can add the thumb key to open the B flat side of the horn.
Concert G major transposes to the F horn's written D major, which contains two sharps.
No, the French horn has no buttons. However, there are 4 valves; the 1st valve, the 2nd valve, the 3rd valve, and the thumb key.
When you are pressing the key/valve only halfway, and you get a muffled, and incorrect note.
