SELMER French Horn-Single (H2850MDC)

My French Horn came with an economy mouthpiece which was okay. The Holten mouthpiece is more comfortable and allows greater ease at hitting the higher notes. Quality product with an improved aesthetic appearance.

I just started playing the French horn again after a 30-year hiatus. I only took an 8-week course in college, so I'm not very experienced. So I ordered two mouthpieces. The Blessing one has a much thicker rim, and I found it harder to play. But the Selmer one is perfect for me. I keep it in my pocket so I can buzz in my free time. Some people check their email when they're bored; I buzz. I find it helps my playing, even if it doesn't help my social skills. Anyway, this is a great mouthpiece and it'll last for years. And if you decide the French horn just isn't for you, places are buying silver now, and you might be able to get a bit of cash for it.

My son’s French Horn teacher suggested this mouthpiece for him and he loved it. A local music store was asking $80 plus tax for the exact same item, so this was an excellent deal. This mouthpiece is more comfortable for extended playing time and my son played with improved tone, especially in the low end, when he made the switch.

Love these for young players! You can cover the whole range of the horn, and it's very comfortable.

Slightly smaller cup size then the mouthpiece my daughter had been using. Recommended by her teacher, it works well for her. Sometimes you have to try slightly different sizes to see what works best for you.

Heavy weight and came in perfect condition!!

This piece cleans well, and as my son practices his exercises, the sound protrudes out as it should! It’s slim neck is different than his fellow French horn players, but I think it’s sleeker looking and doesn’t affect the quality of sound.

I ordered a French horn mouthpiece for my son. The box was busted, the plastic was already cut, and the mouthpiece has been used and is dirty.
