Michael Pocket Horn J. PFH-500

This is a new French horn with a tube length one octave shorter than the B♭ single horn. The key is High B♭. It can be used with a regular French horn mouthpiece, so it is easy to switch from a French horn. It can be used for many purposes, such as a child's first French horn, for practicing in a small space, and for horn ensembles and stage performances. This mini-sized pocket horn is a dream come true for horn players. It opens up many possibilities, not only for horn ensembles, but also for use as a substitute for the post horn or corno da caccia. It is very easy to play. It is supported at two points, the bell and the lever, and can be played in the same way as a horn. The PFH-500 is one octave higher than the B♭ single French horn, but the fingering is the same as the B♭ single horn. When reading sheet music for a regular French horn written in F, you will 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 blowing 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, cleaning cloth
