Our French Horn Hire Range

Not sure which horn you need? See our guide below the range for the difference between F and Bb models.

Understanding French Horn Types: F vs. Bb

One of the most common questions for new students is: "Do I need a horn in F or Bb?" * Single F Horn (The Standard): Most teachers recommend starting on a Single F horn. It has a longer length of tubing, which produces the classic, warm "heroic" French Horn sound. It is the traditional choice for orchestral training.

  • Single Bb Horn (The 'Easy' Start): The Bb horn is shorter, lighter, and more "secure" in the higher register. It is often recommended for younger students because it is physically easier to hold and the notes are less likely to "split."

  • Double Horn (The Professional Path): A "Full Double" (like the Yamaha 567) combines both F and Bb into one instrument via a thumb trigger. This is the standard for Grade 5 and above, offering the best of both worlds.

Why Hire Your French Horn fromus?

  • Rotary Valve Precision: Unlike trumpets, French Horns use "rotary" valves which can be tricky to maintain. We professionally oil and tension every valve before dispatch to ensure they are lightning-fast.

  • Sizing Guidance: French Horns are physically demanding. If you aren't sure if your child is ready for a Full Double horn, our team can provide expert advice based on their age and grade.

  • Complete Outfits: Every hire includes a lightweight backpack-style case, a silver-plated mouthpiece, and a maintenance kit.

  • Hire-to-Buy: Love your horn? We deduct a portion of your rental payments if you choose to purchase the instrument later.

Is the French Horn hard for a beginner?

It requires more "ear training" than a trumpet, but our professionally set-up horns make it as easy as possible to hit the right notes.

Yes, all horns come in a protective hard case or a high-quality gig bag to keep the bell safe during transport.

French Horn valves are delicate. If you have any issues, our workshop team provides free technical support and repairs as part of your agreement.
