Holba, Stanislav ; Ketner, Zbyněk (referee) ; Jirásek, Ondřej (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the French horn and adjusting mouthpieces for this instrument. The work briefly describes the French horn, its structure, production materials, history and development, and the description of the timbre possibilities. Furthermore, the work explains the use of the fast Fourier transform algorithm in the context of analysis. A list of characteristics features of individual tools and mouthpieces used for analysis follows. The work then compares selected tone samples of natural and valve French horns from various manufacturers, their harmonic spectra, and directional characteristics. For specific tones, a list of chosen psychoacoustic quantities is given. The obtained values are linked with the mechanical characteristics of individual instruments and mouthpieces.

Daily embrouchure hygiene for advanced french horn
Javůrková, Kateřina ; DIVOKÝ, Zdeněk (advisor) ; BABORÁK, Radek (referee)
This study investigates the warm up process of an advanced french horn
player. Through and meaningful warm up should be as natural as brushing teeth that
is why I call it hygiene. Above all, this study should be a tool for every player who
hasn't created his own system of warm up and inspiration for everyone else who
wants to refresh his daily warm up routine. In this study you will find daily exercises
for widening the range, tongue speed, embouchure flexibility, and also the breathing
exercises which are equally important for the fine horn playing.
