Student-Level French Horns
Starting a musical journey with a reliable, quality instrument is the key to a successful experience. Meyer Music offers brand-name student-level French horns as rent-to-own, matching teacher preferences with free accessories.
Step-Up French Horns
As a player progresses, their instrument should match their growing skills. A student-level French horn is a great way to start a musical journey and a Step-Up French horn will take a player even further.
Meyer Music offers an array of high-end brass brands, including Yamaha, Holton, and Hans Hoyer. As Michigan’s only Shokunin Yamaha dealer, their premier level, we also provide access to a wide range of advanced Yamaha options.
What’s the difference?
Step-Up French Horns feature two sets of tubing with an extra rotor valve to switch between them, allowing players to create a more pleasant tone and better control intonation.
Step-Up French Horns are available in nickel silver construction for enhanced projection and response.
Step-Up French Horns feature a larger bore for fuller sound and rotor valves are typically fitted to closer tolerances, minimizing leakage of air that would otherwise cause a player to work harder.
