There are several variants of the French horn. Most players start on a "single horn" pitched in F. The full orchestral instrument has a mechanism that allows it to play in F and Bb. This is call a Full Double. Sometimes, to keep costs down a player may chose a "compensating" double. This achieves nearly the same as the full double.
Kinder horns are designed for children. They have tight wrapped tubing that makes the whole instrument more compact, enabling a child to hold the horn correctly. These are available in Bb, F and compact compensating.
