Well, a technique used in MANY instances is to blow through the reed without it actually playing and then starting the note afterwards. In low notes, this is especially useful.

Howard already put some video demonstrations and gave the link to a Horn player who demonstrates this.

Starting the note can be done with a soft tonging, or by knowing when the air "catches" the reed.

This is part of the reed exercises one normally does.

For example, the Polenc Sonata that starts on the pp high D, that's the perfect place to let the "catch" start the note.
