| three pistons for playing and two additional rotary keys for lowering the pitch, allowing this instrument to play in the keys of F/Eb/D/C.
Instruments of this sort usually came with two mouthpieces, one mellophone/Eb tenor horn size for playing in F and Eb, and one baritone/euphonium/tenor trombone size for playing in D/C.
It may have originally come with an extra set of valve slides.
This particular version of the hybrid instruments refered to as mellophones was also often refered to as a tenor cor. The tell-tale features are: slightly smaller bell, noticeably narrower bell-throat, cornet/trumpet valve casing and bore-size.
This particular form of mellophone, for whatever reason, was the perennial favourite of African-American brass and concert band musicians during the entire Ragtime era in the United States, and would have been used by such musicians as those that played in the bands of Ragtime composer and bandmaster James Reese Europe.
