The horn is a hunting instrument. During hunting at Court, the hunting action is accompanied by trumpet blasts (fanfares) which allow the hunters to communicate with each other and with their dogs.
The hunting horn was adopted by French hunting during the reign of Louis XV and the influence of his hunting master the Marquis de Dampierre2. Since then, the hunting horn has been inseparable from hunting.
It owes its significance and development to it.
The practice of the horn is maintained by all hunters, for whom it is the instrument of communication during the hunt, but also by musician artists who know how to carry it to perfection.
