8. Conclusion

So you’ve decided to learn to play the horn, or you’re thinking about giving someone a horn as a present. Congratulations to you for this ambitious decision, and welcome to the brass family!

The next question you’ll need to ask yourself is: Which instrument is the perfect match for me? As we’ve explained earlier in this guide, the most common variants are the Bb, F and double horns. We hope that this guide has provided some guidance on which tuning would be best for you. Ideally, talk to your instructor or conductor to determine which horn is a good fit for you. While it’s not necessary to go for a double horn right from the start, it’s certainly no mistake, either, and prepares you for all musical situations.

Most horns come with a standard mouthpiece and a case or bag.

As an acoustic instrument, a horn doesn’t lose its value as quickly as a digital synthesizer, for example. If you take good care of your horn, its lifespan is virtually unlimited. This means that you really cannot go wrong when purchasing a horn.

And don’t forget: The best day to start practicing was years ago. The second best day is tomorrow!
