What is a horn made of?

The material a horn is made of depends on what kind of horn you're talking about! Here are a few possibilities:

Animal Horns:

* Keratin: This is a tough protein that makes up the horns of animals like cows, goats, sheep, and antelope. It's the same material that makes up human hair and nails.

Musical Instruments:

* Brass: Most modern horns (like trumpets, French horns, and tubas) are made of brass, an alloy of copper and zinc.

* Silver: Some horns are made from silver, which gives them a brighter sound and a more resonant tone.

* Gold: High-end horns may be made from gold, which is even more resonant than silver.

* Wood: Historically, some horns were made from wood, particularly the woodwind instruments like the oboe and clarinet.

Other Horns:

* Plastic: Many modern horns, like those found on cars, are made from plastic for durability and affordability.

* Metal: Some horns, like those used in signaling, may be made of other metals like steel or aluminum.
