How to Record the French Horn: Microphone Test and Buying Guide - Scott Leger Horn

I get asked a lot of questions about microphones and recording the French horn, so with the help of my friend John who is an audio engineer at the New World Symphony, I made a microphone guide to help you find a recording option that’s right for you and help you get the best sound out of whatever microphone you’re using!
