Yamaha YHR-313 Single French Horn – Good Condition, Freshly Serviced, Ready to Play, Priced to Sell

Here’s a Yamaha YHR-313 single French horn in good condition and ready to go. You’ll notice some lacquer wear, a small dent on the side, and a few dings along the horn — none of that affects the sound at all. Beyond those cosmetic notes, the instrument is clean and has clearly been looked after. It just came back from a full professional service and still sounds incredible. The tone is warm and centered with solid projection, and the horn feels natural under the hands. Intonation holds steady across the range, the slides pull freely, the keys are properly regulated, and the valves move smoothly with no stickiness or resistance.

It responds evenly and stays easy to control whether you’re playing softer or putting more air through it. Bottom notes speak freely and the upper register remains focused without thinning out or getting difficult. When a horn is set up right like this one, it simply cooperates and does what you ask without any fight. The YHR-313 is a reliable Yamaha single horn that a lot of students and developing players like. It’s known for consistent pitch, comfortable playability, and that familiar Yamaha character that works well in school band and ensembles. These tend to hold up nicely over time and make a solid choice for someone who wants something ready to play without needing extra attention.

It comes with a new mouthpiece so you can get started right away. If you’re after a clean, ready-to-play single French horn that’s already been serviced and still sounds great, this one is a good option. It’s priced to sell. Message me with any questions!
