A single F horn is easier for beginning students. Features: Leadpipe taper The taper of the leadpipe improves response and intonation throughout the instrument. Wrap The wrap of this model allows for a more comfortable hand position and smoother air flow. Nickel silver inner and outer slides The use of nickel silver inner and outer slides ensures better fit and less chance of corrosion because nickel-silver is harder and more durable than brass. Tapered valves Tapered valves wear for a long time without air leakage. Lightweight and least complicated horn to play The single F horn is preferred for beginners because of its weight and simple configuration. Rich, warm tone Superb flexibility Easy response Accurate intonation Specifications: Key F Bore .472" Bell 12-1/8" yellow brass bell produces a slightly bright and intense sound Bell throat Medium Valves Three solid rotary valves Clear epoxy lacquer Microscopic, electrically-charged particles of lacquer are attracted to and deposited evenly on the surface of the instrument carrying the opposite charge. This produces an exceptionally thin, uniform coating that can be oven-hardened for maximum durability without compromising the instrument's sound. Clear epoxy lacquer provides easy maintenance and scratch and corrosion resistance. Gold brass leadpipe Gold brass is extremely resistant to wear and corrosion, and when used in a leadpipe, it ensures long-term precision.
