Just for the record, I have had my hands (and lips) on two different 19th century horns that had only two valves, the halftone valve being played with the 1st finger. Not assembled incorrectly, definitely intended that way. One of them had Stoelzel valves. Sorry, I don't remember the makers' names. I do remember they played very well.
