The Fr Horn plays what?I know the French Horn is in F, but what note is asked to be played and what note will that be at concert pitch? In an orchestra everyone tunes to a concert A but it's different in a brass quintet. Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: If the ensemble is tuning to a concert Bb, then a French horn would play an F. Basically, it's transposed up a perfect fifth. |
