It normally has no <a href="/facts/Brass_instrument_valve/eFD0prIB">valves</a> or other pitch-altering devices, and is thus limited to its <a href="/facts/Harmonic_series_(music)/PdElIrxL">natural harmonic</a> notes, and <a href="/facts/Pitch_(music)/fQAK0JsC">pitch</a> is controlled entirely by varying the air and <a href="/facts/Embouchure/FdSfF4JD">embouchure</a>. </p>
