Yes, it's a popular and reputable brand.
it was started in Germany but finished in France hence its named the French horn
The serial number by itself doesn't identify a specific model.
To maintain a french horn you have to:-don't eat with your horn(obviously)-clean your horn regularly-grease the valves with some sort of lubricant.-And at least once a month, run some warm, soapy water through the valves.
The French horn. Though a brass instrument it most often sits with the woodwinds.
Yes french horn is the most important instrument

No.
Two common choices are the Conn 8D and the Holton H180. Yamaha is another popular option.

The reason why the french horn is called a french horn is because, even if it started to develop in Germany it was completed in France, heinz the name French Horn
I recommend you start wit a double horn. The partials are easier to hear and it is easier to play very high and low. I have a Holton horn and I love it. Yamaha is a good brand too. I would recommend you get either of the two brands. ~ A double horn is easier to play, but I recommend starting on a F single horn. The longer you play on one of those, the stronger you'll get, making a double horn easier to play if/when you switch to one. It truly depends on the repertoir you will be playing in band. If it's simple (like mine was), you'll be fine on a single horn. If it will get to a relevitely high degree of difficulty within a year or two, a double horn might be a good idea. Schools--especially High Schools--generally are able to provide students with double horns so you won't need to buy one. As far as I'm aware, you can't rend double horns. What I ended up doing is playing on a single F from 4th-7th grade (I believe it was a Holton 604? Something close to that) and buying a double horn in 8th (Holton 180), and I have no regrets. I second the previous responder's recommendations of Holtons and Yamahas, and I have friends that also like Conns. Hope this helps!! =)

The French horn is a brass.
It is actually a German invention. I can't even think of a single manufacturer of so called French Horns in France. Most pro level horns are made in Germany such as the Hans Hoyer and Alexander brands, England where Paxman horns are made and the USA where CONN and Holton Horns are made.
A good one costs a few thousand dollars.
