How our reviews work

  • A few days after your order ships we'll email you a link to leave a review. When your feedback is published it will carry a Customer verified badge, so others know it came from a real order with us.
  • We only ever edit a review to remove profanity, spam, or personal details - otherwise it's published exactly as written, good or bad. We won’t ever remove or edit critical ones.
  • You don't need to have bought a product from us to review it - if you know the product, we want you to let other shoppers know what you honestly think, using the form on the product page. These are moderated in the same way, but won't carry our Customer verified badge.

Introducing the John Packer JP162 student single F French horn outfit

Designed for young musicians, the JP162 stands out as the ideal choice for aspiring French horn students seeking a single F model. This instrument features a small wrap design, allowing children to comfortably position their right hand on the bell whilst maintaining the correct posture for playing.

This beginner instrument is a lighter, more affordable option that still creates a great sound, making it perfect for schools, music services and training bands. Constructed from resilient yellow brass, the JP162 boasts a robust build. Its lacquer finish simplifies maintenance, and the mechanical ball and socket linkage ensures the valve mechanism is reliable.

Horn players need to learn both sides of the horn, so if you need a single Bb French horn then the JP161 is a great choice.

What's in the outfit?

  • John Packer JP612 4B French horn mouthpiece
  • Lightweight protective case
  • Attachable backstraps
  • Ultra Pure valve oil
  • Maintenance guide

The service was excellent. The horn was dispatched quickly and packaged well. Unfortunately there was a minor defect with the instrument, but the sales team were fantastic at sorting the collection of the first instrument and sending a replacement in a matter of days. I will happily use them again.

The price very reasonable.
