Sorry, Bob, to oppose. They surely used the several crooks but they were used to play higher tonalities on the complementary lower crook like the F/Bb connection and sometimes the opposite way if the lower notes had not much importance. This rule works fine in practica, but has been used mostly to solve the quick chanbe problem. But nobody played D-major on the Bb crook or on the Eb-crook , but G on the D horn e.g. A on the E horn high Bb on the F-crook. ============================================================ ===================================================

In Mozart's time horn players were used to playing in any key on any crook and they had favorite crooks just as we have favorite horns or mouthpieces. So, every key change does not automatically assume a change of crooks.

One of my colleagues supplied us with a handy device to hang from a music stand from which to suspend crooks. It takes only a matter of seconds to change. I haven't played a Mozart opera on hand horn but I cannot believe that Mozart would ask for the impossible.
