The French horn gets its name from a type of hunting horn used in France during the late 1500s.-False

It is false: The French horn did not get its name from a type of hunting horn used in France during the late 1500s.

Explanation:

Although it is not certain when hunting horns were first used to create musical sounds, it is highly probable that French composer Jean-Baptiste Lully used them in 1664, and French makers were the first to create or manufacture man-made hunting horns, and gained credit for producing the present-day popular hoop shape of the French horn. With time, the hunting horn was widely called by a French name-"trompe de chasse or cor de chasse"-even when English was spoken.
