YHR-668DII French Horn - Professional

The 668 MkII has all the great qualities of its predecessor, including incredibly accurate intonation and an improved playability. The sound is rich, warm, full of life and projects well in even the largest concert halls.

This Detachable bell version gives the player the option of removing the bell to assist with transporting and weight. The removable bell idea originated from players who wanted to mix and match with different bell materials etc on pro models but has filtered down the range to provide a more portable option and sound for all players.

A new leadpipe design and a new bell taper and thickness give improved resonance, quicker response and enhanced tonal projection in every range while the ideal amount of resistance gives you full control from pianissimo to fortissimo.

The latest addition to the Yamaha range of French horns is designed with the orchestral player in mind. Its large bell and bore along with its more compact rotor and tuning slide layout give this horn great projection and power in symphonic works, whilst having enough resistance to play in smaller ensembles and quieter passages.

Specifications:

Clear Lacquer or Nickel Silver finishes, optional detachable bell, New Leadpipe design improves resonance in low register, redesigned bell taper and thickness, enhanced projection, Extra large bell throat, 12mm bore, supplied with hard case.
