J. Michael Pocket Horn PFH-500

This is a new and innovative French horn, featuring a tube length one octave shorter than a B♭ single horn. It's keyed in High B♭. It can use a standard Flensdorff horn mouthpiece, making it easy to switch from a French horn. It's versatile, offering a wide range of uses, from a child's first French horn, to practice in small spaces, horn ensembles, and stage performances. This mini-sized pocket horn is a dream come true for horn players. It offers a wide range of possibilities, from ensembles to using it as a post horn or corno da caccia. Playing is incredibly simple. Supported by the bell and lever, it can be played just like a regular horn. The PFH-500 is keyed one octave higher than a B♭ single French horn, but the fingering is the same as a B♭ single horn. Reading sheet music for a standard French horn written in F, you need to convert it to B♭, just like the B♭ single French horn. While the main parts, including the bell, are made of brass, the removable outer tube is made of nickel silver, which provides just the right amount of resistance. Despite its compact size, it offers a solid playing feel and produces bright, rich overtones. Set contents: Pocket horn, dedicated semi-hard case, mouthpiece (included mouthpiece and mouthpiece receiver are American shank), instruction manual (with fingering chart), warranty card, cleaning cloth
