Is the French horn easy to learn?
Some people refer to the French horn as one of the hardest instruments to play because of its difficulty level. Although the French horn can certainly hit an array of notes, it is also very easy for a musician to crack notes or play them flat, making it even more impressive when a person is able to master it fully.
What kind of French horn should I get?
For many beginners (myself included) the first type of horn we play on will be a single F horn. In the US the sound of the F horn is generally preferred, and so it's become common to start beginners off with horns in F.
How much does a decent French horn cost?
Beginner french horns usually range in cost from $1,200 to $3,500. Intermediate, or step-up french horns usually range in cost $3,500 to $4,500 and entry level pro french horns (still largely played by advanced students) around $4,500 and up.
