Description
The horn or French horn consists of about 12 feet of narrow tubing wound into a circle. The player obtains different notes on the horn with a clear mellow sound by pressing valves with the left hand and by moving the right hand inside of the bell. Small ‘kinder’ style horns are ideal for the young beginner. The response, intonation and all around performance of the Odyssey Premiere ‘Bb’ Baby French Horn, coupled with the high quality materials, make this an ideal instrument for the first time player or teacher. The bonus of being in Bb means that any Bb music can be used with this instrument. Playing along with Trumpets, Clarinets etc.
As a company producing some of the world’s finest brasswind instruments, Odyssey recognise the fact that protection whilst travelling with a delicate instrument is paramount. To ensure players can maintain a high standard with this instrument, Odyssey has included gloves and a cleaning cloth, whilst a plush lined, Zero-gravity ‘backpack’ hard foam, canvas covered case with shoulder straps takes all the worry out of commuting with such a delicate instrument. The fact that the Odyssey Premiere ‘Bb’ Baby French Horn has a removeable bell so that it fits snuggly into its case is a big plus, and makes the case a whole lot smaller.
