I was looking into getting myself a Double French Horn when i noticed the Professional French Horn, which made me curious of the differences.
It is all in the name. Almost every good horn is used by a pro somewhere. The intermediate may have a smaller bore or not depending where you are and the sound you are looking for.

In Albany, NY..... Haven't played in years...my horn needs to be cleaned, restrung, etc.......where is the best place to go?
I'm not a french hornist, but I would check with members of a local professional symphony or music department at a local unviersity to find out where are good places to send your horn to. Since you're in NY, I'm sure that you'll be able to find a good horn repair place, even

Burbanks launched musical tradition
From the time that they arrived in Moncton in 1920 to their deaths in 1951 and 1967 respectively, Arthur and Maude Burbank laid the foundations for a musical tradition in the city that continues today.
The Burbanks met in Berlin, New Hampshire where Maude was teaching school and Arthur was working as a mill hand. In the evenings, Arthur played the trombone and led an orchestra for local dances. Maude first learned to play the organ when she was eight, then the fiddle and by age 15 was teaching others the violin. When she and Arthur met, Maude was an accomplished violinist and had studied professionally in New York, Boston and Portland.
Arthur Burbank invited Maude Davenport to lead his orchestra and under her direction they played throughout New England. Arthur dreamed of a career as a musician and after he and Maude were married they put together a musical vaudeville act with both of them playing a number of instruments.
D'Addario Bowed Strings Blog: Happy Birthday Norman Pickering!
My mentor Norman Pickering turned 95 last month! To do his life justice would require several long books but here are some highlights. An early hand injury playing baseball ended his aspirations as a professional violinist, and he switched to the French Horn. After receiving his engineering degree, he graduated from Juilliard (he was a classmate of the late cellist Bernard Greenhouse), then played horn in the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra in the late 1930s before joining the E.G. Conn company in 1940. There he did research into musical instruments and helped design many instruments, including a role in the design of the famous Conn 8D French Horn, used by most of the major United States Orchestras. He also taught at the famous Interlochen music camp. With the start of World War II, the E.G Conn factory was converted to making precision gyroscopes used in airplane navigation, sparking his interest in flying and aviation. He returned to the New York City area and was a regular substitute during the 1940s in the New York Philharmonic, the Metropolitan Opera and other orchestras. His dissatisfaction with the quality of audio reproduction led him to design the first lightweight, high fidelity phonograph pickup cartridge. Versions of the Pickering cartridge are still sold today. He was one of the founders of the Audio Engineering Society in 1948. He was conductor George Szell’s personal recording consultant for several years. He did research into violin acoustics and somehow found the time to make over 50 violins and violas. He was active in the Violin Society of America since its early days and served as President. One of his significant accomplishments was to popularize violin acoustics to violin makers. He also was a pioneer in using ultrasound to image the human eye....
