What do the valves on a french horn do?

The three valves where you rest your index, middle, and ring fingers (of your left hand) changes the pitch of your original buzz when you press on them. There are only a limited combination of the valves. In order to create a large range of sounds (higher notes and lower notes), one would have to create differently sized openings between the lips while keeping the embouchure to have control over the playing. The French Horn is usually in the F key, which is why they are also called "F Horn." There are also "double horns," where you have an additional valve (a 4th valve) that switches the horn to the B flat key. Double horns allow a more accurate pitch overall, since some notes are more accurate on the F horn, and others are more accurate on the B flat horn. Double horns also allow variety in fingering.

What are facts about a french horn?

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.
