There could be a lot more said about this instrument. Ex. people who play it, about the Vienna Phil, more about construction of the instrument, its history, etc. -- A. Wang ^{(talk/contrb.)} 15:10, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence that describes the Vienna horn valves and their linkage could make a casual reader think that varying the speed of the valve changes is enabled by the long pushrods. I don't see the need to word it this way. A skilled player should be able to do fast or slow changes with any type of valve. I can imagine that the moving mass of the Vienna valve could make super fast action more difficult. My educated guess is that the layout that requires the long rods is for the purpose of creating an acoustically optimum layout for the tubing that goes in and out of the valves.
