What is French horn note range?

Answer 1

The most common top note is the C above the staff, but it's only found in advanced repertoire and some jazz arrangements. Some players can go beyond that, but such notes are almost never used.

Answer 2

A strong horn player generally has 4 octaves at their disposal.

The concert f below the bass clef to the concert f at the top of the treble clef.

Horn music is written a fifth higher than it actually is, so hornists read concert f's as c's.

Answer 3

The horn has the widest range in the brass section, reaching perhaps four full octaves. On the bottom, it could go down to a written E below the bass clef staff, which is a half-step lower than the bottom note on a bassoon. On the high end, a reasonable top note is a written C above the treble clef staff.

Answer 4

The french horn has a note range of thre and a half to four octaves. The Guiness book ranked it, with the Oboe, the most difficult instrument to play.

Answer 5

it really just depends on the person. there is no defined highest note or lowest note.
