∙ 10y agoThe Horn, (Common name French Horn, however this is incorrect) is in the middle range of brass instruments and has a unique dark and smooth tone quality. This is due to it's large bell, it's downward orientation, and it's lengthy tubing. These characteristics cause the instrument's high overtones to be less audible than those of other brass instruments.
The length of the horn's tubing is actually longer than that of a Trombone or baritone, meaning it's fundamental (the lowest note the instrument can play) is a lower pitch. However, the mouthpiece of the horn more narrow than those of low brass instruments, and shifts the comfortable range up by about an octave and a perfect fourth. Being played far above it's fundamental, the horn produces a dark but excited sound.
