?? You don't like the solos horn ?

logarithmically implies that when you add more horns you get diminishing returns. Which simply isn't true.

no fair

Surely once a horn player always a horn player, regardles whether one is in practice or not.

you can get a great one for 5k.

You can start on eBay. I purchased a few and actually was happy with them. Get a good mouthpiece. I have an old Alexander now. Works great! Go for your dream start small and cheap like buying your first car.

The really expensive horns are custom made. In some cases the custom horns get super valuable because the maker no longer exists (like Rauch). My Paxman cost me $8,000 in 2010, and is considered a standard horn vs a custom horn. A friend of mine owns a Rauch that he bought for $17,000. Just an example.

If you think horns are expensive, you clearly haven't priced fine string instruments! A pretty ordinary instrument that a budding professional might play can easily run $20,000. The instruments played by the concertmasters of the Vienna Philharmonic are owned by the Austrian National Bank, and are worth ~100x that figure! And bows cost a lot more than mouthpieces...

aaron won I think that vienna horn only play on F.

Most ppl play on F. But if you have the right bow (don´t know how to say that in english sry :( ) you can play in any key. I have one F, one Eb and one Bb bow :D

Not on the horns vienna plays on, that only works on natural horn.

Peablo Beato crook is the word! But yes you are correct

to end all discussion vienna horn is a single large f-horn. NO other crooks intended.
