Tenor Horn

The tenor horn, also known as the alto horn in some regions, is a key member of the brass family with a warm, rounded tone that blends beautifully in brass bands and ensembles. Thanks to its conical bore and deep-cup mouthpiece, the tenor horn produces a rich, mellow sound that sits perfectly as a middle voice, providing harmonic support to the brighter tones of trumpets and cornets. Often heard in traditional British brass bands, this instrument plays an essential role in filling out the ensemble’s sound, adding depth and warmth to the overall blend. The tenor horn typically features three piston valves, which allow for smooth, reliable note transitions, though some models may include additional valve options for extended range and flexibility. Its compact size and curved design make it comfortable to hold and easy to play, making it a popular choice for both developing players and seasoned musicians. Whether you're just starting out or looking to upgrade, the tenor horn offers a beautifully expressive sound and an essential voice in brass ensembles.
