Chapter 2: Unraveling the Design and Construction
Descant and triple horns are composed of three main sections: the mouthpiece, the tubing, and the bell.

Their versatility allows them to play a diverse range of musical styles, from classical to jazz and contemporary.

Playing descant and triple horns requires a combination of technical skill and musicality. The player's embouchure, fingerings, and breathing techniques must be precisely coordinated to produce the desired sound and articulation. Lips play a crucial role in shaping the tone and pitch, while the fingers manipulate valves to change the length of the tubing and produce different notes.
