Valtorna makes it possible to perform long notes and tunes of wide breathing, since the air consumption is small here, but this does not apply to the extreme registers.

For quite some time, the valtor was used only in natural form, and Bethkhoven himself played in this form, but starting from the beginning of the 19th century, valves with valves have been used more. In its natural form, the instrument was limited in its audio rift, like other wind instruments that did not have a valve.

This attitude is due to the fact that now many people want a musical instrument on which you can play the entire natural gamut.

Whether this problem was more solved by Adolf Saks - the inventor of the saxophone. After some time, composers such as V. Mozart and J. Haydn wrote classic concerts, where valtor was a solo instrument. With the help of these concerts, they revealed a melting sound, and the ability to convey images that are full of enthusiasm and humor.

At this time, it was possible to fulfill all the sounds. The hunting horn became natural Valtor in the city of Humpel. He was the first to lower the bell of the valtor down, because before that they kept the bell only up, and began to insert his hand into it, with the help of which the height of natural sounds became possible to increase and lower. The appearance of the tool has changed a lot.

Now it has the form of a metal pipe that is folded into a circle. The length of the Valtorna is more than three meters. In the center of this circle is a valve mechanism, which makes it possible to lower the height of natural plants and adjust the length of the air pillar. The musicians who play on this instrument put their left hand on its three keys. With the help of the 4th and 5th valves, the process of execution can be greatly facilitated.
