A Geyer-style professional model double French horn in F/Bb.

The 871DU is Yamaha’s new premium double horn. With a traditional Geyer wrap and large .476” bore, a time-tested design meets its maximum performance potential.

Flagship

No expense is spared with this model. Gold brass leadpipe and inner slide tubes deepen tone and resonance, while the nickel silver valve casing, engraved valve caps and a hollow 4th rotor add responsiveness and life. 

Consistent Performer

Yamaha’s steadfast commitment to quality control, excellence in manufacturing, and constant innovation are all embodied in the 871DU. 

The Yamaha 871DU is an upgraded version of the 671.  The hollow 4th rotor allows for improved response and clearer tone.  With its traditional Geyer wrap, the Yamaha 871 is a fantastic choice for professionals requiring a solid and reliable horn with quick response and a consistent tone throughout all registers.  Additionally, its unlacquered finish allows for the sound to resonate fully and freely.
