'Horn' vs. 'French Horn':
|
|
Even though the term French horn is widely used in the United States, its modern design was manufactured
by German horn makers. Horns today are modeled after their design, and therefore are not French in any
way. Andrew Pelletier says, "I think we can all agree that 'horn' is correct, and far simpler!"
