Common Questions About The Yamaha YHR-871DU

What is the Yamaha YHR-871DU French horn?

The Yamaha YHR-871DU is a professional F/Bb double French horn in Yamaha’s Custom series. It uses a Geyer wrap design, four rotary valves, dual plane valve construction, and a detachable bell.

Who is the Yamaha YHR-871DU best suited for?

This model is best suited for advanced students, conservatory musicians, professional horn players, and experienced amateurs who want a professional double horn for orchestral and ensemble performance.

What is the effect of an unlacquered finish on a French horn?

An unlacquered finish on a French horn allows the raw brass to remain exposed rather than sealed beneath a protective lacquer coating. Many players feel this creates a more immediate, resonant response with a broader spectrum of overtones and a slightly more “alive” feel under the hands, though the tonal difference is subtle and highly subjective. Over time, the instrument develops a natural patina as the brass oxidizes, giving each horn a unique appearance that many musicians find aesthetically appealing.

Burned my already sensitive feet, too big
Color: Pink & Beige, Size: Medium/Large(fits size 8 to 11)
Feels icky, and the heat gets trapped and literally felt like my feet were being burned by these. The bottoms of these feel prickly and they are way too big. You have to sit still and cannot walk in them.

Just as good as paraffin wax
Color: Pink & Beige, Size: Medium/Large(fits size 8 to 11)
I might prefer these socks over paraffin wax. They are comfy and very moisturizing. I use these socks once a week to keep the heels and soles of my feet moisturized between pedicures. I rinse with warm, soapy water then hang to dry. They are hard to walk in, but there's a saying printed in the socks that's says something to the effect of "take a break, stay off your feet" lol I love that as a reminder to put my feet up and relax

Love these!
Color: Pink & Beige, Size: Small(fits up to size 7)
Love these! As I write this review, I’m sitting in my recliner with these on. I have had other silicone socks in the past and would like to share a few of the things that I have learned. These fit great! The others were 2-3 sizes too big because you could not order a size. I wear a size 7 women’s shoe. I got the smaller size. I walked around my apartment in my old ones and they got kinda yucky. Now, I sit in my recliner, put them on and chill for a few hours. I now take them off and put in a ziplock bag so they stay nice and clean (no cat hair!). I use them once a week usually on Saturday or Sunday as I’m a working girl. Also, I use Auqaphor before I put them on and put cotton socks on after I’m finished. Your feet will be SO soft. This is not a one and done…I do this every week especially during sandal season! I know this was lengthy and I hope you got some tips.

Best Muclucs I've every owned....GREAT PRICE!
These things are so comfortable and warm. I sleep with them on because I like to have my feet out of the covers. Not too warm...just right. Great quality and fit with a non-slip leather-like sole. I'll keep ordering these ahead of time to make sure I'll always have a fresh pair when I wear them out. I wear them EVERY NIGHT and keep them on all morning. Life-changer! The BEST EVER!!
