Double Horn

• Mar 19, 2020 - 19:36

... Or else called Horn in F/Bflat is the instrument that combines 2 Horn types. It's really common in modern days I think. But for some reason, I cannot find it in instrument selection. Of course it might not exist, but I guarantee I searched it with many different ways ( Double Horn/ (French) Horn in F/Bflat ). If it's not added then I would recommend adding it. Here is a wiki link about it... by the way (sorry if you don't accept such links): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_horn#Double_horn

I'm not sure what you are proposing. As I understand it, and as a brass player, the instrument of choice of modern players is what you call the double horn. It has been for several decades. It is an instrument in F. A trigger redirects some airflow through different tubing (Bb side) to help play certain notes in tune better. This instrument is called "Horn". Pretty sure any reference you have come across for double horn F/Bb, is this common "Horn". And any font recorded in the last several decades has been recorded with this F/Bb,or simply, "Horn". Some players might prefer the single horn in F. The distinction of "double horn" is not intended to mean two separate instruments. Rather it is one instrument with different parts working together. Not unlike any valved instrument.
