Discover the JP161 Single French Horn, expertly designed for children with its 'small wrap,' making it smaller than a full-size horn. This design allows children to position their right hand correctly into the bell while maintaining proper playing posture.

The choice between starting on the 'B^b' or 'F' side is a topic of debate among French Horn teachers. The B^b side offers easier pitch control compared to the F side, both sides read horn in F music and transpose a 5th, adding a layer of complexity.

The JP161 represents the B^b side, while the JP162 is dedicated to the F side. It's crucial to consult with your teacher to ensure you choose the right single horn, as some teachers specialise in either the Bb or F side.

• The JP161 has been carefully designed as a small wrap to make it ideal for children to hold and with the addition of the adjustable finger ring and ducks foot which can be adjusted to fit even the smallest of hands.
• Mechanical (ball & socket) linkage ensures that the valve mechanism is robust and reliable.

The JP161 is supplied in a high quality lightweight case with backpack straps and comes with a John Packer JP612 4B French Horn Mouthpiece, bottle of Ultra Pure valve oil and a maintenance guide to help you keep your instrument in top playing order.
