2. French Horn
This brass instrument, which is also known simply as ‘horn’ is mainly used in bands and professional orchestras. The fFrench horn instrument is made of tubing and it is wrapped into a coil with a flared bell. You can see how hard the French horn is to be played just by the look of it, especially by children. The classical orchestra has two horns. The first horn is playing in a higher part while the second horn is playing in a lower part. Beethoven often used four horns and today’s music is following this pattern. The horn instrument can be a little confusing especially for beginners and children which is the reason it found its way higher on our list.
