The french horn is a brass instrument. The sound of the horn can mix very nice with the sound of woodwind instruments. The horn is the only brass instrument that is used in the classical wind quintet, which consist of Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, bassoon and horn. This quintet is sometimes referred to as "woodwind quintet", although the horn really is not a woodwind.
