  2. French horn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_horn

    The French horn (since the 1930s known simply as the horn in professional music circles) is a brass instrument made of tubing wrapped into a coil with a flared bell. The double horn in F/B ♭ (technically a variety of German horn) is the horn most often used by players in professional orchestras and bands, although the descant and triple horn have become increasingly popular.

    However, playing a 3rd space C (F-horn, open) and repeating the stopped horn, the pitch will lower a half-step to a B-natural (or 1/2 step above B ♭, the next lower partial). The hand horn technique developed in the classical period, with music pieces requiring the use of covering the bell to various degrees to lower the pitch accordingly.

  4. Mellophone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mellophone

    Tuning is done solely by adjusting the tuning slide, unlike the French horn where the pitch is affected by the hand position in the bell. Fingerings for the mellophone are the same as fingerings for the trumpet, tenor horn, and most valved brass instruments. Owing to its use primarily outside concert music, there is little solo literature for ...

  6. Wagner tuba - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagner_tuba

    The Wagner tuba is built with rotary valves, which (like those on the horn) are played with the left hand. [4] Horn players traditionally double on Wagner tubas because the mouthpiece and fingering are identical, [3] though the size of the bore of the Wagner tuba is midway between that of a euphonium and a horn.

  7. Flugelhorn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flugelhorn

    The sound of the flugelhorn has been described as halfway between a trumpet and a French horn, whereas the cornet's sound is halfway between a trumpet and a flugelhorn. [6] The flugelhorn is as agile as the cornet but more difficult to control in the high register (from approximately written G 5 ), where in general it locks onto notes less easily.

  9. Mute (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mute_(music)

    The mute is filled with absorbent material which dampens the sound, [48] resulting in a "covered" sound similar to that of a French horn. [29] The mute can be clipped to the rim of the bell, but a model manufactured by Jo-Ral Mutes is instead inserted into the bell.
