Explore the JP162 Single French Horn, specifically crafted 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 the proper playing posture.

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

The JP162 represents the F side, while the JP161 is dedicated to the B^b side. Since horn players need to learn both sides, it's essential to consult with your teacher to ensure you choose the correct single horn, as some teachers specialise in either the B^b or F side.

• The JP162 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 JP162 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.
