Up for Your Consideration is a Modified Yamaha YHR 561 Double French Horn.  First, foremost; THIS HORN HAS EXCELLENT VALVE COMPRESSION!  I recently did a valve compression reading on all the valves, and the valves had compression readings between 0.4 - 0.8   The valves are fast, quiet, and responsive with excellent compression.  The bell was recently cut with an Alexander ring set.  The bell screws on very nicely!  The bell Flare is solid! The lacquer was removed and the horn was given a very light brushed finish.  Modifications were made to the inside tubing for optimal playability. THIS HORN IS A PLAYER!   The lead pipe is in good condition with an Amato key recently installed!   The bell tail is in good condition.  The inside tubing looks great!   The horn recently came out of the shop and was given an inspection; all of the braces are secure; all of the tuning slides pull freely along with the valve caps.  The horn was given an ultrasonic cleaning in August of 2026.  The horn comes with a Yamaha fixed bell case with 3 functioning latches.   Serial number posted for your review.
