I was a trumpet player in band and had a "Lemme try..." moment after one of the French horn players told us this. It was indeed much harder. It was sort of fun to have her do the fingerings while I tried to make sensible sounds come out of the thing.
French horn has a buttery warmth I love when played well. Sounds the first cry of some newborn hellspawn in the arms of an neophyte.

Scott's played with every big orchestra in the Bay Area, as a sub. When their regular horn player can't make it, he's the one they call.
