However, when the instrument is disturbed in some fashion ( transported, for example ), the overall pitch of the head can change, thus the markers on the gauges may not remain reliable unless they have been adjusted immediately preceding the performance.

Present-day ethnomusicologists, such as Margaret Kartomi ( page 173 ), and Ellingson ( PhD dissertation, 1979, p. 544 ) suggest that, in keeping with the spirit of the original Hornbostel Sachs classification scheme, of categorization by what first produces the initial sound in the instrument, that only subcategory 53 should remain in the electrophones category.

* Valved brass instruments use a set of valves ( typically three or four but as many as seven or more in some cases ) operated by the player's fingers that introduce additional tubing, or crooks, into the instrument, changing its overall length.
