Jo Sedlack - among artist Sedlack's swirling,
expressionistic paintings is one of a woman playing the
horn (her daughter is studying horn at the Cincinnati
Conservatory). According to Bruce Hemd (Horndog Blog),
it sold for the bargain price of $250.
DS Art - Composite images by Don
Stewart. Whimsical, delightful, humorous, fascinating
black & white art work where objects are
"constructed" out of other smaller objects. There is a
wild assortment of objects depicted, everything from
bagpipes to catfish to elephants, but artist Stewart
obviously has a soft spot for music since you can find
representations of many musical instruments here,
including all the brasses. Have a look at his composite horn image. You can buy the
whole gallery as a coffee table book or buy them
individually as art works.

See also Corbis, which had fewer matches for
"French horn", but some interesting choices.
We also liked the choices at BigStockPhoto, which seemed to have
some of the same photos as, e.g. iStockphoto -
apparently the photographers are not necessarily bound
to one stock photo service. Good prices.
