Normally, then hand is slightly cupped and the side of the index finger and the thumb are touching the bell, holding the instrument up. When the piece of music calls for a special sound, horn players can adjust the position of their hand to allow a half step change in the pitch. There are also times when horn players raise the entire instrument, holding the bell from the outside, to allow a louder/ blasting sound. In addition, there are also different mutes that creates different quality of sounds when needed for special parts of (usually orchestral) music.

Who made the invention of the French horn?
The french horn was not invented, it has been evolving over hundreds of years. It has the same humble origins of all brass instruments up until the hunting horns. The horn went through many evolutions before becoming the modern horn we know today. Alexander horns from germany were one of the first companies to fabricate horns as we know them now. Kruspe is often credited with the invention of the horn as we know it now (he put the bflat and f horns together).
