Double Horn
The Yamaha double horn is designed so that it normally plays in the key of F (open F) when the 4th lever is not
depressed, and in the key of B
b
when the 4th lever is depressed. However, by re-configuring the linkage as shown
in the illustration below, this function can be reversed so that the horn plays in B
b
(open B
b
) when the lever is
not depressed, and in the key of F when the lever is depressed.
To use this setup, move the string and the string seat, then place the string over the string seat.
