HI there, have I used the correct articles in these sentences? Thanks!
On reflection, I believe that it was the French horn’s appearance that appealed to me the most: it was grand, the horn’s tubing and bell were attractive, and I also liked the sound that it made – stringed instruments always sounded too squeaky for my liking. My petite size, however, was a problem at my audition: I could animate the French horn well enough to be successful, but I struggled to hold it properly. The solution? I was to purchase some ribbon and use it to tie the French horn to my hand.

sailsofoblivion have I used the correct articles in these sentences? Yes, you have. A fine point for future reference: "French horn" is absolutely fine in the everyday usage of the term by non-specialists, but in the world of orchestral players and conductors, it's just "horn", without "French".
