In marching bands and drum bands, the marching horn is usually used to replace the F-key brass instrument of the French horn.

The current marching horn has three keys, just like a trumpet or a soft horn, which are all pressed by the right hand, but the tonality of the instrument is F, so the sound played is four degrees lower than that of the trumpet (Bb).
