To make the horns less dangerous. Horns that have points at the ends are like the ends of a dagger or spear, and are far more likely to gore and rip someone or something open than if their horns are tipped or have caps on them.

How do you clean a french horn?

You can clean a french horn by giving it a bath. First, lay an old towel down on the bottom of a bathtub. Then fill the tub with lukewarm water. Remove all the slides and lay them down on the towel. Unscrew the rotor caps, and put them aside, as they won't need cleaning. Finally, place your horn on top of the towel. Let it soak for 5-10 minutes. Next, get a snake (a long, thin, flexible piece of plastic or wire, with bristles on either end) and run it through all of the slides. Put it down the leadpipe and pull it back out. Take all the slides out of the water, and dump the water left in them out. Take your horn out, and make sure to rotate it several times to get water out of it as well. Using an old, clean towel, dry your horn and slides thoroughly. Take slide grease and put it on each of your slides. Slip then back into their places in the horn, remembering to hold down the appropriate valves. Put a drop of oil on each of the rotors and work the corresponding valve up and down before screwing the rotor caps back on. Finish up by polishing your horn.
