Choosing a brass instrument to play

Play the French horn

The French horn has all the tubing wrapped into a coil ending in a flared bell. The French horn is actually 2 instruments combined into one and is not French. The French horn plays across a very wide range across 4 octaves and is a popular solo instrument in the orchestra.
