The horn is a brass instrument also known as the corno
or French horn. It has 20 feet (6.1m) of tubing which
is wrapped into a coil, and ends in a flared bell. A
player of the horn is referred to as a "horn player",
or less commonly a "hornist".
The instrument has its origins in Germany, but is often
referred to as the French horn. Since 1971 the
international Horn Society has recommended that it
simply be called the horn. However the name French horn
persists in some countries today.

Pitch is controlled by adjusting lip tension in the
mouthpiece; and through the operation of three valves
by the left hand, which route the air into extra
tubing. Horns are tuned in F or less commonly in Bb.
