Now the YHR-871II inherits the extraordinary sound and playability of its predecessor with refinements learned from the development of recent Yamaha professional and custom horns. Close communication with some of the world’s top players plus repeated prototype evaluations have resulted in warmer, more expansive tone and projection that gives artists unprecedented expressive potential. The Yamaha YHR-871IIDU is a Custom series F\/Bb double French horn built on an orthodox Geyer-style wrap with a detachable medium bell, designed to deliver a rich, deep tonal character with a solid core and consistent resistance across the full range. It combines a 12.1 millimeter bore, a gold brass leadpipe, gold brass tuning-slide inner tubes, and a nickel silver valve casing to support clarity, response, and long-term durability in professional orchestral and studio work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYamaha YHR-871IIDU Custom Double French Horn Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey: F\/Bb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Yellow brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrap style: Geyer style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBell size: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBell type: Detachable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBore size: 12.1 mm (0.476 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValves: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValve rotors: Solid (4th rotor: hollow)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLever action: String\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeadpipe: Gold brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning slides: Gold brass inner tubes; rounded main tuning slide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValve casing: Nickel silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Unlacquered (raw brass)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMouthpiece: HR-32C4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Setup\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrand new with full manufacturer's warranty.

The medium detachable bell with a relatively thick rim wire helps support a rich, deep tone with a solid core, while the 12.1 millimeter bore is chosen to maximize performance potential in demanding ensemble settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is particularly well-suited to orchestral, chamber, and studio players who value consistent response and clarity: a new gold brass leadpipe design promotes even blow and tone throughout the range, gold brass slide inner tubes emphasize tonal depth, and the rounded main tuning slide is shaped to provide ideal blowing resistance for this class of instrument. Ergonomic and practical features include an adjustable 4th thumb lever and pinky hook, plus a long pull ring on the Bb 2nd valve slide for convenient on-the-fly adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Questions About The Yamaha YHR-871IIDU\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of wrap is the Yamaha YHR-871DU?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe YHR-871DU uses an orthodox Geyer-style wrap paired with a medium detachable bell, aiming for a rich, deep tone with a solid core and consistent resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the effect of the unlacquered finish for the YHR-871IIDU?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unlacquered finish on the Yamaha YHR-671DU French horn allows the brass surface to vibrate slightly more freely, which many players perceive as a subtly more open, resonant, and \"alive\" sound compared to a lacquered instrument. In practical terms, this often translates less into a dramatic tonal change and more into a difference in feel players frequently notice increased tactile feedback and a more immediate response, making it easier to shape nuance and color. Unlacquered brass develops patina quickly, which some players embrace aesthetically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Yamaha YHR-871IIDU suitable for professional orchestral use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
