TheYamaha Model YHR-871 Custom (Geyer) F/Bb Double French Horn is Yamaha's highly anticipated groundbreaking Custom Double Horn. It has a medium size detachable hand hammered bell for increased resonance and depth of tone. The rotary valves and valve slides are hand lapped to ensure a tight fit and no air leaks. Hollow phosphor bronze 4th rotor ensures a quick response and fast action. This instrument utilizes a traditional Geyer wrap and a .476" bore.

**Please specify Clear Lacquer or Unlacquered finish. Yamaha's custom horns are Unlacquered by default.

Wrap Style and Bell

An orthodox Geyer style wrap is used with a medium size bell and relatively thick rim wire. The tone is rich and deep with a solid core.

Leadpipe

(The picture shows YHR-871D.)

A new leadpipe design in gold brass contributes to consistent tone and resistance throughout the instrument’s range.

Bore Size

This model features a 12.1 millimeter bore size that maximizes its performance potential.

Slide and Valve Casing

The inner tubes of all tuning slides are made of gold brass to emphasize the horn’s tonal clarity and depth. The main tuning slide also has a rounded shape that provides ideal blowing resistance for this class of instrument. The valve casing is made of Nickel silver for enhanced response and durability.

4th Rotor

A hollow rotor makes notable contributions to response and tone.

Adjustable 4th Thumb Lever and Pincy Hook

The 4th thumb lever and pinky hook can be adjusted for the most comfortable playing position.

Long Pull Ring

The Bb 2nd valve slide features a long pull ring that adds to the instrument’s playing convenience.

Valve Caps and Bell Screw

Engraved brass valve caps and Nickel silver at the bell screw enhance appearance, adding visual sophistication that is on a par with high-end models.
