Designed with younger musicians and first-time players in mind, the JP163 Bb/F compensating French horn offers a lightweight option with access to both the Bb and F sides of the instrument.
As well as the compensating system providing seamless access to both the Bb and F sides, the JP163 incorporates several high-quality components typically found in more expensive French horns. The mechanical (ball and socket) linkage ensures a response playing action and the finger hook and ducks foot can be easily adjusted for a comfortable grip. The yellow brass build makes the instrument durable, capable of lasting young students through their progression learning the French Horn.
Compensating horns, positioned between single and double horns, serve as a transitional option for players upgrading from single horns. Featuring a 3-valve single 'Bb' horn with an additional 4th or 'thumb' valve to access the 'F' side, these horns provide the extended range of a double horn while maintaining a reduced overall weight, allowing players to learn the use of the 4th valve lever.
