Where did the French horn originate from?

Answer 1

France. It was originally a hunting horn, and is now one of the coolest brass instruments in the modern concert band.

The French horn as we know it today comes from Germany. The french designation is only used in the english language, probably for the same reason french fries arent called geman fries (they came from germany)... and of course the ENGLISH horn is actually french....

Answer 2

it developed from a hunting type horn. it was originally unvalved, and pitch was changed by changing the position of the hand in the bell. It then evolved in to something a tad more intricate that had a series of slides that could be changed out to change the pitch to which the instrument is tuned (d, e-flat, f, so on) from there it evolved into the horn we know today

Answer 3

Please don't call it a French horn. The technical name is just horn, because, also in answer to your question, horns are from Germany. I don't know why they are called French horns, because they are not French. But horns originated in Germany, and originally had no valves.
