The Knight JBFH760L Wagner Horn is a historically-inspired French horn designed for advancing students and intermediate players. Originally invented by Richard Wagner, this horn was also specified by composers such as Stravinsky and Bruckner for orchestral works. While sometimes called a "tuba," its playing style and tone closely resemble that of a traditional horn, making it ideal for horn players. It is occasionally used by wind bands when performing orchestral arrangements.

Crafted from high-quality lacquered brass with a gold-brass lead pipe and cupronickel tuning pipe, this F/B♭ double horn produces a rich, full-bodied tone with excellent projection. The instrument comes with a semi-hard case for safe transport and storage.
