The Perfect Step-up Horn

Have you exceeded the capacities of your beginner French horn? If you answered yes, it’s time to step up to the Yamaha YHR-567, an intermediate-level horn with the effortless response and rock-solid note centering you need to take your playing to a higher level. The YHR-567 features a .472-inch bore for added warmth, while its tapered gold brass leadpipe ensures a free-blowing feel and rock-solid intonation. You’ll also benefit from added brightness and a broad tonal palette, courtesy of this horn’s Geyer wrap. The YHR-567’s 12.125-inch, yellow brass bell exhibits a relatively mellow sound at softer dynamics and an assertive brassiness at higher dynamics. You’ll welcome the comfort of this horn’s adjustable fourth rotor thumb lever, and its corrosion-resistant nickel-silver inner and outer slides and tapered valves will ensure many years of musical enjoyment. The YHR-567 also features whisper-quiet string linkage and an eye-grabbing lacquer finish. If you’re looking for the perfect vehicle to elevate your playing, take the YHR-567 for a test drive — you won’t be disappointed.

Tailor-made for discriminating players

Players searching for top-shelf performance in an intermediate-level French horn will find much to appreciate in the YHR-567. This horn features a tapered gold brass leadpipe that offers a comfortable level of breath resistance and spot-on intonation. Its .472-inch bore exhibits a warm, focused sound, and its Geyer wrap adds brightness and expands the instrument's tonal palette. The YHR-567 boasts nickel-silver inner and outer slides for extra durability, tapered valves, and quiet-playing string linkage. You also get an adjustable fourth rotor thumb lever for added playing comfort.

High-quality, yellow brass bell

The Yamaha YHR-567’s 12.125-inch yellow brass bell ensures that this horn covers everything from mellow soft passages to brassy loud passages with equal aplomb. And it sounds outstanding in all registers, with a secure high register, robust projection, and snappy attack from its Bb horn and a rich, warm timbre from its F horn. The YHR-567 features a clear lacquer finish, which brings a delicate warmth to your overall sound and gives the horn a shiny, gleaming appearance.

Reviews

I love this horn
I started learning French horn about 4 months ago and I had a beat down single horn, I couldn't use the horn im reviewing but during band camp I convinced my band director to let me use it for camp and the summer even though I'm really good at breaking instruments accidentally, and he agreed. This horn works wonders, mine is in basically mint condition with dents and scratches here and there, but it's about 5 years old, and probably the best and most expensive instrument I'll ever use. And no I haven't broken it yet.
