Such a perfect fit helps to achieve smooth air flow and smooth action and improve the response and intonation of the instrument.Well balancedAll Yamaha marching instruments are well-balanced so they are easy to hold while marching.Heavy bracingAll Yamaha marching instruments have heavy bracing throughout so they are more durable at vulnerable points and can withstand marching band.Available featureThe YHR-302M marching french horn is available with a silver-plated finish.
