**NICE YAMAHA MODEL 561 DOUBLE FRENCH HORN** WORKS GREAT! Ready to play!

Description

Pro Horn player and Horn teacher is selling a nice Yamaha double French Horn. This is an older model (YHR561) which was originally Yamaha's professional model, back in the day. It has since become more of a standard student model now that Yamaha has developed many other professional models.
This Yamaha has very nice valves that move swiftly and quietly. I recently cleaned, restrung, and put new stoppers on the horn. It is oiled, greased, and everything works as it should. Nothing is stuck. All of the solders are solid, and I only see one small dent that was repaired well on the bell taper. Although there is wear to the lacquer from age, this horn was definitely not abused or beat up. Valves and slides are in
PERFECT WORKING CONDITION as is!
It also has one spit valve on the leadpipe.
This horn plays well overall and has a bright, peppy sound. Nice low range, and good pitch in upper register. I think that this horn would best suit a young player who needs a quality instrument to work on good tone production, projection, and range. If you have a player in their first couple years of playing in band and either don't want to rent, or you need a spare instrument to keep at home, or you don't want to purchase a brand new instrument due to a young person's inexperience with expensive items :) , this Yamaha French Horn will spare you a great expense and will still provide your student with a great instrument to learn on!
A Yamaha hard case is included in the sale. It is older as well, but the latches all work and the case still works fine, it closes properly, and provides plenty of protection. Please ask me about a mouthpiece if you need one.  Enjoy the pictures, and please message with any questions.
