Reference Notes
Shallow variant of the Orval 5. The reduced cup volume supports faster air speeds for upper harmonic partials — an acoustic solution for performing classical concertos on modern double horn, where the extra valve mass increases resistance. Use these measurements as a comparison starting point: fit and response still depend on the player, dental structure, instrument receiver, and each manufacturer's measuring method.
