This is a conn 14D double horn. This isn't the typre of horn I have. I couldn't find a picture of a conn 2 double horn. My horn was my mom's so it is 36 years old. Conns are professional level horns and they have an amazing sound.
When we tighten our aperture while buzzing, it causes the frequency level of the sound waves to rise. Think about blowing into a bottle, a tighter aperture is like having more water in the bottle, so when you blow, you will get a higher pith, as opposed to when you have a looser aperture ( less water in thebottle) and when you blow into it you get a lower sound. The 3 finger valves chand the pitch of the instrument by changing the air path to travel different lengths through the horn. Together, the tightness of the aperture and which valves are pressed down determine which note will come out of the instrument. In case you were wondering, the thumb valve on the double horn changes the key of the instrument from F to Bb to help the player play the high and low notes.
