I know from the site stats that people are looking for fingering charts for the horn!
Typically horn fingering charts are somewhat confusing as they combine fingerings for F and B-flat horns without presenting clearly a preferred set for the double horn. In response to this need I have posted a PDF (extracted from my publication Introducing the Horn) of my horn fingering chart, which clearly presents the fingerings for the three most popular types of horns for beginners.
What type of horn do I have?
Related, if you need a fingering chart, you may also be wondering what type of horn you have?
Going back to the late 19th century as a starting point, there were no double horns! Players back then used either single F or single Bb horns. The double horn became popular in the early 20th century and combines both pitch lengths, as you will see with the double set of valve slides. Photos below should clear up what you have.
Single F (nearly always has 3 valves.) [Note that the valve slides are longer on the F horn than the Bb horn below.]
Single Bb (may have 3 or 4 valves — the “extra” valve is a stopping valve.) [And note: the pitch is thought of as being “in F.” This horn just has a different set of fingerings than a single F, and plays at the same pitch level.]
Double horn (will have most typically 4 “two-story” valves, with the 4th valve placed either before or after the main 3 valves.)
