Abstract
The ascending/descending (or ACDC) horn is a single horn with ascending high E-flat and descending F valves. Its design is simple and composed of a standard 3-valve single B-flat horn fitted with these additional E-flat alto and F valves. This horn can be set to A stopping functionality by pressing simultaneously on both these valves. This latter incidental discovery allows us to propose the first 5-valve single horn which admits a complete range of tonalities, including stopped harmonics, without the need of any additional slide or clutch valve, and with fingerings similar to the standard F/B-flat double horn. With this model, we think the single horn becomes now a serious alternative to the standard double horn.
