French Horns

[supapapa]

Do you have to be left handed to play the french horn ?

[Buenchico]

It would obviously be an advantage but, just as left-handed people learn to play the other instruments in an orchestra (many of which favour right-handers) there would seem to be nothing to actually preclude right-handed people from learning to play the French horn.

#I once had a whim and I had to obey it
To buy a French Horn in a second-hand shop;
I polished it up and I started to play it
In spite of the neighbours who begged me to stop.

To sound my Horn, I had to develop my embouchure;
I found my Horn was a bit of a devil to play.

So artfully wound
To give you a sound,
A beautiful sound so rich and round.

Oh, the hours I had to spend
Before I mastered it in the end.

But that was yesterday and just today I looked in the usual place-
There was the case but the Horn itself was missing.....#
