French Horn.  Its bore is as long as a tuba's.  I have played horn before, and 
there is a definite, barely detectable delay between initiation of the note 
and the perception of the note (which is both by ear and by hand in the case 
of the horn).  The long bore is one reason the horn's attack is quite mellow.
