Yamaha YHR567GB Intermediate Lacquer Full Double French Horn [HM6374]

The popular 567 is a full double horn with a design very similar to the innovative 667V. Though priced as an intermediate model, it is used by some professional players in top orchestras. Its easy response and sure note centering make it ideal for students-while the colorful tone and precise intonation make it attractive to pros. The 567 is an outstanding horn and great value for its price. The taper of the leadpipe improves response and intonation throughout the instrument. The wrap of this model allows for a more comfortable hand position and smoother air flow. The use of nickel silver inner and outer slides ensures better fit and less chance of corrosion because nickel-silver is harder and more durable than brass. Tapered valves wear for a long time without air leakage. The 4th rotor thumb lever can be adjusted to fit any hand size from small student hands to large adult hands. The ease with which this horn may be played makes it ideal for students. The combination of the secure high register, strong projection, and quick attack of the Bb horn with the rich, warm timbre of the F horn make the double horn ideal for most playing situations.
