It is amazing how many things take on the name French horn that are not actually musical instruments. For example:

  • The French Horn Cocktail
    * 1 oz. vodka
    * 3/4 ozs. raspberry liqueur
    * 1/2 oz. lemon juice
    * Cocktail cherry
    * Lemon slice
    * Orange slice
    * Coarse sea salt
    * Saucer
    * Cocktail shaker
    * Toothpick
    * Stirrer straw
    * Cocktail glass
  • French Horn Inn
    This historic pub in Alton, Hampshire has been around since 1829. It is just one of many pubs, cafes and inns that adopt the French horn moniker.  It seems to be a popular name especially in the U.K.
  • French horn organ stop
    On electronic organs (and synthesizers) at least, the fractured “brr-uuu brrrr-uuu” blatty attack is a bit annoying.
