Playing Characteristics
The Yamaha 671 French Horn offers advanced playing characteristics that make it a favorite among musicians. Its evenness and response across all registers ensures a consistent sound, giving you confidence and control in your performance. Whether you're playing in the low or high range, it has just the right amount of resistance, allowing you to focus on musical expression without struggling with the instrument.

The adjustable thumb lever allows players to customize the instrument to their hand size and playing style, enhancing overall comfort. Additionally, the leadpipe angle is thoughtfully designed, with a 14.25-inch measurement between the leadpipe and the bell, providing a natural, relaxed playing position.

About Yamaha
Yamaha's history began in 1887 when its founder, Torakusu Yamaha, successfully repaired a broken reed organ, leading to the creation of the first Yamaha organ. This marked the birth of the Yamaha brand, which has since become synonymous with excellence in musical instruments and audio products. In 1897, Yamaha established Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd., and a year later, introduced the iconic "tuning fork" logo, symbolizing precision in sound. Over the decades, Yamaha expanded globally, entering diverse industries, including motorcycles, semiconductors, and sports equipment. Today, Yamaha continues to innovate, driven by a deep commitment to sound, music, and cultural inspiration.
