Standard aka "Italian" or "orchestral" tuning, High Bass aka "Old-time D tuning", Cross tuning aka "High counter", Calico aka "Black Mountain Rag" or the Swedish tunings: Trollstämning, or Näckastämning
The initial setting operation includes fixing the theodolite on a tripod, along with approximate levelling and centering over the station mark.For setting up the instrument, the tripod is placed over the station with its legs widely spread so that the centre of the tripod head lies above the station point and its head approximately level (by eye estimation).
The sections of the piece and instruments introduced by the variations are as follows. Theme Allegro maestoso e largamente Tutti (D minor), woodwinds (F major), brass (E♭ major), strings (G minor), then percussion (written in A major) Variation A Presto Flutes and piccolo Variation B Lento Oboes Variation C Moderato Clarinets Variation D ...
For example, an instrument in D can play music in D major and B minor. However, the variety of music that can be played on a one-row instrument is wider than these facts might suggest: besides D major and B minor, our one-row instrument in D can play tunes in A Mixolydian and E Dorian , and tunes that use gapped scales, such as pentatonic tunes ...
The shorthand for the instrumentation of a symphony orchestra (and other similar ensembles) is used to outline which and how many instruments, especially wind instruments, are called for in a given piece of music. The shorthand is ordered in the same fashion as the parts of the individual instruments in the score (when read from top to bottom).

Strings run parallel to the top, between the mounting plate and the tuning pins, and pass under the chord bar assembly.

Modulating the lip tension as done with modern brass instruments. This allows for notes in the harmonic series to be played. Changing the length of the instrument by switching the crooks. This is a rather slow process. Before the advent of the modern valved horn, many ideas were attempted to speed up the process of changing the key of the ...
