The string linkage offers a smooth, quiet rotor action preferred by professionals and educators. Affordable yet durable, the BFH-1461N delivers the premium playability found in professional models at a price suited for advancing students. The BFH-1461N Performance Series Double French Horn is the ideal next step for anyone passionate about mastering this challenging and rewarding instrument.

Nickel Silver Bell Produces a Warm, Projecting Tone
At the heart of the superior sound of the BFH-1461N is its handcrafted 12.25" nickel silver bell. Nickel silver, an alloy of nickel and copper, is prized for producing a warm yet projecting tone that carries powerfully. The large bell throat further enhances volume and timbre, allowing players to achieve a vibrant, colorful tone that will lead any ensemble. For French horn players looking to advance from a single horn to a double, the BFH-1461N provides an ideal introduction to the richer, more complex sounds a double horn can produce.

String Linkage Offers Smooth, Quiet Rotor Action
Unlike many student model French horns that utilize a mechanical linkage, the BFH-1461N features a string linkage preferred by professionals for its smooth, quiet rotation. String linkages require less maintenance, reduce the possibility of stuck or slow rotors, and allow for faster, more accurate fingerings. For educators and students, the high-quality string linkage of the BFH-1461N supports building proper technique and control.

Durable Yet Affordable, Perfect for Advancing Players
While designed with features and components found in professional-level horns, the BFH-1461N is available at a price point suited for advancing students and music programs. With a clear lacquer finish and nickel-plated tuning slides, the BFH-1461N delivers durability for regular use and practice. An included molded plastic case provides safe transport and storage, allowing musicians to focus on progression without concern for damage or additional expenses. For those passionate about mastering the French horn, the BFH-1461N offers premium playability and sound at an affordable price.
