Yamaha makes a Vienna horn, it's just not on the US market. I think if you check out their Europe site or at least their Austrian site, it should be up there.
I have a Bill Kuyper (pardon the spelling) recording of the Britten Serenade and in the program notes, it says that the first and last parts are played with a Yamaha natural horn. I've always wished they would market everyone one of their instruments in the US. If you check out their other sites, you see that they offer a very beautiful lacquered 667V with a garland. While you can probably still get one, it's a huge hassle. I'm not positive of this, but they offered a custom single B-flat model that Thomas Bacon plays on.
