Where do you apply cork grease on your french horn?
the French Horn is a brass instrument. When you put in together you simply put the mouthpiece in the neck and your done. Cork grease is used for wind instruments like the clarinet. when you put together a clarinet you put the mouthpiece into the neck, but the mouth piece is lined with cork so u also apply cork grease (hence the name, "cork" grease). But seeing as the French Horn has no cork you do NOT need cork grease.
How do you put your lips on the french horn?
It is hard to explain over the Internet, but I'll try. When you put your lips onto the French Horn you want 1/3 of it covering your bottom lip and 2/3 covering your top lip then simply blow a raspberry into the mouth piece.
What are the measurements of a French horn?
For a double horn, the F side is 12 feet long, and the B flat side is 9 feet long. On a single horn, it will only be in one of these keys. Each valve lowers the pitch by adding extra length: the first valve by 2 semitones the second valve by 1 semitone and the third valve by 3 semitones
Why doesn't a french horn have a spit valve?
To get the spit and condensation out of the French Horn slide each valve out of their position in the horn and shake the contents out. Then turn the french horn around until all the water has come out. Then put each valve back in the correct place. For the key valves hold down each key while taking each valve out. That is how you get the "spit" out of a French Horn.
Brass tubing needed for the french horn?
Simply put, it's the part on the very top where the mouthpiece goes into. Sometimes, it's a different color/finish than the rest of the horn and is usually a little bit thicker than the tubing directly after it.
