| - The French horn is a brass instrument made of more than 20 feet (6.1 m) of tubing wrapped into a coil with a flared bell. The main bugle on an F Horn is ~12-13' and the tubing associated with the valves make up the additional tubing to achieve ~20' of tubing overall. A musician who plays the horn is called a horn player (or less frequently, a hornist). In informal use, "horn" may also refer to nearly any wind instrument with a flared exit for the sound.
- The Pro: This player of the section is the real reason why the French horns are included in bands. They usually have quite a big solo in one or more pieces, and play it with maximum volume, and ferocity. The Average: While not as outstandingly awesome and mindblowingly talented as The Pro, these players are still utterly fucktastic. Generally they support the entire band, getting solos every now and then just to prove that they are better than those goddamn trumpet and alto sax players.
- The horn is a brass instrument consisting of about 12–13 feet (3.66–3.96 meters) of tubing wrapped into a coil with a flared bell. A musician who plays the horn is called a horn player (or less frequently, a hornist). Descended from the natural horn, the instrument is often informally known as the French horn, but since 1971 the International Horn Society has recommended the use of the word horn.[2] However, in the English speaking world "French horn" is still the most commonly used name for the instrument.

| - The Pro: This player of the section is the real reason why the French horns are included in bands. They usually have quite a big solo in one or more pieces, and play it with maximum volume, and ferocity. The Average: While not as outstandingly awesome and mindblowingly talented as The Pro, these players are still utterly fucktastic. Generally they support the entire band, getting solos every now and then just to prove that they are better than those goddamn trumpet and alto sax players. The Douche: This player is the scourge of the horn section. He always thinks he's better looking than he is, and he always overblows and thinks he can hit high notes, and usually can't play for toffee. However, he's normally pretty damn good at offbeats, since he's always playing 4th Horn. There aren't many of these players around, as they're quite feckless and usually get killed and eaten by the tromboners. The Guy With Lots of Natural Talent Who Doesn't Give a Shit: Even though this horn player has developed a natural skill to play amazingly well (making the other chairs very jealous), he does not care in showing up to sectionals, pep band, or even other rehearsals. However, the band director will never kick such person out, because he knows that he needs him. The Guy with No Natural Talent Who Doesn't Give a Shit Unlike the guy with lots of natural talent who doesn't give a shit, this horn player has NO natural skill. He tends to be the funniest guy however, and we all love him anyways for playing the french horn.

Horns have valves, operated with the left hand, to route the air into extra tubing to change the pitch. Most horns have lever-operated rotary valves, but some horns like the Vienna horn use piston valves (similar to trumpet valves). A horn without valves is known as a natural horn, changing pitch along the natural harmonics of the instrument (similar to a bugle), but with a wide range of notes due to the long tubing. Three valves control the flow of air in the single horn, which is tuned to F or less commonly, B♭. The more common double horn has a fourth valve, usually operated by the thumb, which routes the air to one set of tubing tuned to F or the second set of tubing tuned to B♭. Triple horns with five valves are also made, tuned in F, B♭, and a descant E♭ or F.
