Yamaha YHR-567 Double French Horn
This horn is a great player and fantastic for the advancing student! This is a F/Bb full double horn. It is pre owned and presents a few signs of use as such. There is some general scratching around the horn body.There is also a small bit of red rot on the lower wrap of the horn. Some dent work and a brace was replaced on the instrument by our friends at Heritage Music Repair and it looks absolutely great! This horn also has a custom engraving on the bell.
Per the previous owner:
This is a fantastic instrument for the advancing student looking to upgrade!
