A Horn for High-level Players

Teeming with sustain, power, and dynamics, the Yamaha YHR-671 is a professional French horn designed for advanced students and other high-level players. You'll appreciate the added warmth imparted by the YHR-671's .472-inch bore, while its innovative leadpipe design ensures consistent tone and resistance throughout the horn's entire range. You'll also benefit from added brightness and a broad tonal palette, courtesy of the YHR-671's orthodox Geyer wrap. The YHR-671 is an incredibly dynamic instrument, thanks to its medium-sized, yellow brass bell, which exhibits a mellow sound at softer dynamics and a muscular brassiness at higher ones. You'll welcome the comfort of this horn's adjustable fourth rotor thumb lever and convenient extra-long second valve slide pull ring, and its corrosion-resistant nickel-silver valve casing ensures excellent response and steadfast durability. The YHR-671 also features whisper-quiet string linkage and an eye-grabbing lacquer finish. The Yamaha YHR-671 is tailor-made for players with discerning tastes. If this describes you, the YHR-671 may just well be the last French horn you'll ever need to buy.

Tailor-made for discriminating musicians

Serious players searching for a pro-level horn with uncanny power and sustain, along with outstanding playing resistance will find much to appreciate in the YHR-671. This horn's revolutionary gold brass leadpipe contributes greatly to its consistent tone and comfortable breath resistance, which is further bolstered by a .472-inch bore for added warmth and Geyer wrap for added brightness and broad tonality. The YHR-671 boasts a rugged nickel-silver valve casing, along with a quiet-playing string linkage system. You also get an adjustable fourth rotor thumb lever and convenient extra-long second valve slide pull ring.

High-quality yellow brass bell

The Yamaha YHR-671's medium-sized yellow brass bell ensures that this horn covers everything from mellow soft passages to brassy loud passages with equal aplomb. And it sounds outstanding in all registers, with a secure high register, robust projection, and snappy attack from its Bb horn and a rich, warm timbre from its F horn. This bell employs an extra-thick rim wire, which ensures a rich, deep tone with a solid core. The YHR-671 features a clear lacquer finish, which brings a delicate warmth to your overall sound. At Irvine Art & Music, we've also found that this trumpet's lacquer finish gives it a shiny, gleaming look.

Yamaha Professional Series brass and woodwinds

Launched in 1967, the Yamaha Professional Series expanded the Yamaha line and made an instant impression among working musicians. Featuring many of the same features and specifications as Yamaha Custom Series instruments, Yamaha Professional Series brass and woodwinds are an ideal choice for discerning musicians who demand superior performance while remaining budget conscious.
