Do French people play the French horn?

In: French Language and Culture [Edit categories]

Answer:

Some French musicians do play the French horn, but it is hard to play and is not a popular instrument. It is not used in folklore compositions and the proportion of musicians playing the French horn isn't certainly any higher than in other countries. Its French name is 'cor d'harmonie', making no reference to its origin.
