The French horn is built so that it sounds in the key of F. If a hornist's music says to play a middle C, it will be the same pitch as an F below middle C on the piano. If a piece of music is writen in Concert F, a C-instrument, such as a Trombone, will have one flat (B flat) in his or her key signature while a hornist will have no sharps or flats.

∙ 9y agoTo find the horn pitch from concert pitch, you go up a fifth or down a fourth.
I normally go up, so it would D-E-F-G-A!
So, the concert D major scale is the A major scale in horn! The A major scale has 3 sharps: F#, C#, and G#.
Hope this helps!! =)

What does pitched in F and B flat and E flat mean?
If a horn is pitched in F, then a horn player that plays the C scale on the horn is, when compared to a piano or flute or violin (which is made in concert pitch), actually playing the F scale. The horn overall is in the key of F. The same goes if it's pitched in B-flat or E-flat: the C scale will actually be the concert B-flat scale or concert E-flat scale. I hope that helps. Let me know if anything needs further explanation. =)
