a horn is any instrament you blow into. (i.e. snare drums are NOT horns)
I do agree with my new friend here, A horn is any instrument you blow into. PERCUSSION IS NOT! and niether is a colorgaurd flag that my friend uses to kill me with

... a horn is any wind instrument. Like, a bassoon can be a horn just as well as a trumpet or piccollo.

but i say it's just any instrument you can blow into

I'll say brasswinds, all instruments blown into are called winds, but brass have horns.

There is no right or wrong way to say it, but we use horns to refer to brass instruments in our band...if our BD says, Horns up, he usually means brass, and Winds up, meaning woodwinds. But then we may be odd, lol whee

well...in the band sense, I would consider horns to be any brass or woodwind instrument. But in the orchestral sense, it's more french horn.

Aww, but blowing into snare drums is so much fun!

Yeah. Horns are anything you play, but percussion and strings.

Actually the official name for french horn is horn..so sorry about that. Horn as in slang terms is any instrument that involves air neing put through it to produce a sound..an Aerophone i think is the proper term.

My old bd said it was anything you blew into.

I dunno about my current one.
He might.

He generally says winds...

Words Of Wisdom From Bagel...


A horn is any wind instrument.
Sax, flute, clarinet, French horn, trumpet, tub, etc.
Anything besides percussion.
