It's a golden Yamaha French Horn that only been used for a year and a half. The lacquer is still on it and it shines beautifully and has a great sound. I'm looking into buying a new one, but would like to sell this one first. Any ideas??


You really need to provide more info on the make of the horn. It could be worth anywhere between $1400-$4000 depending on the model. One way to tell what make it is is to look at the lead pipe. There would be some letters on there like YHR 667.
