The simplest beginning horn is a single horn which can come in two sizes, either a Bb (B flat) or an F horn. There are differing beliefs as to which is the best student instrument. Most teachers prefer the F horn but in my experience, students succeed more often with a Bb horn.
In 1760, it was discovered rather then invented that placing a hand over the bell of the French Horn lowered the tone called stopping. Devices for stopping were later invented. In the 19th century, valves instead of crooks were used, giving birth to the modern French Horn and eventually the double French Horn. It is debatable if it is possible to trace the invention of the French Horn to one person. However, two inventors are named as the first to invent a valve for the horn.
