John Packer JP161 student single Bb French horn outfit

Introducing the John Packer JP161 student single Bb French horn outfit

Designed for young musicians, the JP161 stands out as the ideal choice for aspiring French horn students seeking a single Bb model. This instrument features a small wrap design, allowing children to comfortably position their right hand on the bell whilst maintaining the correct posture for playing.

This beginner instrument is a lighter, more affordable option that still creates a great sound, making it perfect for schools, music services and training bands. Constructed from resilient yellow brass, the JP161 boasts a robust build. Its lacquer finish simplifies maintenance, and the mechanical ball and socket linkage ensures the valve mechanism is reliable.

Horn players need to learn both sides of the horn, so if you need a single F French horn then the JP162 is a great choice.
