Although the horn belongs to a brass instrument, it can not only blow out the loud sound of brass, but also blow out the soft sound of woodwind, which can be used in woodwind quintet. The sound of the horn is soft and full, which can be well integrated with the sounds of woodwind instruments and stringed instruments. In a symphony orchestra, four speakers are usually used. There are six or eight large pieces of music.

The pitch of the classical horn is F-flat or B-flat, and it has four valve keys (vertical and rotation). The natural overtone pitch of the horn is reduced by increasing the length of the tube. The valve key enables the player to play all semitones from bass B to treble F.
Horn is a transposed instrument, and notation is made of treble spectrum, which is five degrees higher than the actual sound. The most commonly used speaker in modern times is the F-key, and many players use the double-key speaker. This horn has a valve key attached to the F tube, which is controlled by the thumb of the left hand to increase the length and make the horn change from the B-flat key to the F key in a lower bass range.
