What material is the french horn made of?

It depends on the maker. Many use nickel or brass. Some use rose brass (different color and a slightly darker sound). Brass is a slightly darker sound than nickel. Yamaha makes their valves out of an alloy (combination) of metals. This combination is more reactive to the saliva of certain people, and this may cause the valves on Yamahas to stick for some people. For this reason, it is important that you properly maintain the horn or simply do not buy a Yamaha if you find that you have this reactive saliva.
