Hi Nick,
the horn in your picture is a Bb instrument with the key nearest the bell for high C (concert Bb) and the other one for high D (concert C). You just point your chops at a high note, push down the appropriate key and Voila - instant high C or D, even at pianissimo! These things sure make Richard Strauss easier!
