Yamaha YHR-672D Double French Horn Overview
The Yamaha YHR-672D is a professional full double French horn built on a traditional Kruspe wrap with a detachable extra-large yellow brass bell for a warm, rich sound with strong projection. Its leadpipe design is based on the acclaimed Yamaha Custom Horn YHR-862 (1979–1987), supporting an open feel, quick response, and a controlled playing resistance suited to orchestral, chamber, and solo work. Revised bracing and a redesigned short-stroke fourth valve mechanism improve balance and fluidity across the range, making the YHR-672D a practical choice for demanding repertoire from classical concerti to contemporary literature.
