Yes, but not five valved triple horns with top c extension and bar.

Period instruments - There have been several periods in music (I've lived
through a couple of them!)

During the romantic period they tended to use single horns with piston
valves and generally F or Eb crooks

The Orch of Age of En (they must get a shorter name than that) use
instruments of the period of whatever music they are playing.

Cheers,

Lawrence
