This orchestral French horn is designed for players who prefer the strong sound of a large bell instrument.
Characterized by deep, warm tone colors, the 668 features secure note centers and impeccable intonation. It is available in yellow brass or nickel-silver.
Hand-lapped rotary valves and slidesRotary valves and slides that have been hand-lapped are airtight and have smooth action. |
Articulated key leversArticulated key levers have responsive motion. |
Hammered and annealed bellHammering and annealing are processes so important to the instrument's acoustic characteristics that Yamaha employs computer-controlled equipment to ensure consistently superior sound. Hammering enables bells to have a rich, resonant tone that blends beautifully with other instruments. Annealing is a cooling and heating process that makes it easier to control the acoustics of the instrument. |
Cyclical boreA cyclical bore is a perfectly cylindrical tubing assembly in combination with a conical leadpipe and bell system. This allows for consistent air flow throughout the horn. |
Tapered valvesTapered valves wear for a long time without air leakage. |
Deep, warm tone colors |
Secure note centers |
