Yamaha YHR-671DU Double French Horn Overview
The Yamaha YHR-671DU is a Geyer-style F/Bb double French horn with a detachable unlacquered bell, designed to provide the tonal depth, response, and ergonomic familiarity expected from a professional orchestral horn. Based on the core design approach of Yamaha’s YHR-871 series, the YHR-671DU uses a traditional Geyer wrap, a medium-size bell with thicker rim wire, a gold brass leadpipe, nickel silver valve casing, and player-adjustable controls to support consistent response across registers. This instrument has been used as a short-term rental, has not been privately owned, and is in pristine condition.

Common Questions About the Yamaha YHR-671DU
Is the Yamaha YHR-671DU a professional-level horn?
Yes. The Yamaha YHR-671DU is built as a professional F/Bb double French horn with a Geyer-style wrap, detachable bell, gold brass leadpipe, nickel silver valve casing, and design features associated with Yamaha’s higher-end orchestral horns.
What does the unlacquered finish mean for this horn?
An unlacquered finish leaves the brass surface without a clear lacquer coating. Many players choose unlacquered horns for their natural feel and direct resonance, while understanding that the surface will develop patina over time with normal handling.
Why choose a detachable bell on a double French horn?
A detachable bell makes the horn easier to transport in a more compact case and is especially useful for players who travel, commute, or need a professional instrument that is practical for auditions, rehearsals, and performances.
