The most common types of French Horn are the single horn, which is generally used by beginners, and the double horn. The single horn is usually in the key of F, and is lighter and simpler to learn. The double horn is actually two horns combined--the single F horn plus additional tubing and a fourth valve to create a B-flat horn. The B-flat portion of the horn has a better, brighter tone for the high notes.Related horns you might see include the marching horn, pitched in B-flat, and the mellophone, pitched in F.
